One of my contacts, J Bespoy, gets the best shots of little goslings, so I was very excited when I spotted this baby. They are so cute and small compared to the size the parent. This does not have a large crop. They strolled right past me.
If you have time, it is so much better in Fullscreen - lots of detail.

These new parents look tuckered out, no doubt with 22 babes!! Guess where the chicks all are in this picture?!
A parent bug nymph. Went back to see if it is still there on a following day and it has disappeared. Other benches in the gardens all still have their little shieldbug nurseries. Wonder where this little dude is?
A baby Downey Woodpecker on the bark butter feeder in our backyard. My goal was to get a photo of one of the parents feeding it but so far I've not been successful in doing that. Ferguson, Missouri.

My camera. not having seen daylight all weekend, I can only be thankful for my archives!
31 years ago today my mom died. This was her last picture. My youngest son was just 6 weeks old, and my parents were going to Florida for the winter. I was going to miss them. They would be back by April to file their income taxes. Home shopping club had been advertising this new telephone device, that you plugged your phone into it, and if someone had the same device, you could see them while you were talking to them! Futuristic for sure! We didn’t buy them. My mom died the next day, after they arrived in Florida to their house trailer from a heart attack. She was 70 years old. That was a Sunday morning August 8, 1991. I was just remembering our conversations of how I was going to miss her and how I wished we had those devices to see each other while we talked. 31 years later, I just finished talking to my older son and daughter in law from my Ipad with FaceTime. We FaceTime all the time without thinking about it. 31 years ago it was a dream. I never had another phone call from my mom after she left, and she didn’t come back in April. My Dad came back two days later. I saw my mom at her funeral. She has been with the Lord these past 31 years. My dad joined her on October 31, 1999. Time sure does fly by and things change so much in this world. The Good news is The Lord never changes! His Word doesn’t change either. Some people think it should change to accept today’s changes. I have peace that it doesn’t change. The Bible says, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8❤️
This young Barn Swallow had landed on this bolted sticking out the side of this food bridge and the parent went down to encourage to fly. I was less than 5 feet from them, so I took a quick couple shots and backed off and watched until I saw them fly up out of the area. Thinking teaching a kid to walk is hard, try to teach it to fly!
This little guy seemed lonely up in that nest awaiting the parent to return. Seen here assuming position to receive regurgitated lunch.

A group of parents and children waiting for the nursery to open, Basilica Santa Maria della Salute in the distance, Venice, Italy.
A female Downy woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) passes suet to the youngster at the top of the feeder. Eventually it was persuaded to get some directly.
"Kids and their hair these days!" said every parent ever.

In his book 'England's Cathedrals', Simon Jenkins gives Canterbury Cathedral 5 stars (out of 5). It is by no means the largest Cathedral in the UK, in fact it comes in at a lowly 6th place. But if you take into account its history, being the seat of power for the Church of England, the murder of one Mr Beckett in 1170 and it being one of the oldest Christian sites in the country, then these things help it's rankings no doubt. The site was founded in 597 and the Cathedral was largely rebuilt around 1070. Over the centuries it has been expanded and rebuilt in various ways, most recently as 1834.
It certainly is a lot more impressive than what I remember it when I last visited as a child. But then I might have been distracted as this was the place my parents lost me, (or did I lose them?) leading to a brief police search in the city centre before I was found back at the car. (Thinking this might be a good place to go to.)

Delighted to hear a stretch of land on our doorstep is to be made into a national park m.rte.ie/news/2016/0803/806624-dublin-mountains/#media
These parent Mountain Bluebirds are trying to feed their young but the nest-hole is being blocked by a female Tree Swallow who won't be budged as if to say: "This is now my nest!!"
I could hear the young nestlings calling for food so tried to shoo the Tree Swallow away but each time the Swallow would doggedly return before the Bluebirds could. Sadly I had to leave and let nature take it's course :0(
This wasn't the only incident, I witnessed the same behaviour in two other locations.
I'd made it most of the way round Strumpshaw Fen when I came across two large swans sitting rigt in the middle of the path. My heart sank when I saw they had two cygnets...I crept very slowly passed them...within 3 or 4 feet and was only hissed at as I stepped away from them - they then congratulated each other on a job well done ;-)
The other eagle arrived to take over duties and the first flew off. It immediately started tending to something in the nest. Missed both the arrival of the 2nd one and departure of the 1st. :( New bald eagles nest, last year's destroyed by severe storms. At least one chick but didn't see it this time.
Spent a short time at Loess Bluffs Wildlife Refuge that has reopened after floods closed it for quite a while. Sorry for so many photo, just saving a handful. Most photos just not sharp, exposure and focus issues that morning.
