I really feel in love with black skimmers during the nesting season. Both the parents help raise the chicks and are equally attentive to their little ones. It was amazing to see how protective and nurturing they were.
When do the fawns come out to play? Right before sunset on a cloudy day is when they come out to play. Horrible light but boy was it fun watching these little ones run around chasing each other.

for the European Robin / Rotkehlchen (Erithacus rubecula)
in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
The four chicks left the nest and are out and about, still fed by the parents.
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.
Blauwborst - Male White-spotted Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica cyanecula) with a tasty caterpillar for the youngsters.
We all hold some opinion on Australian White Ibis; Bin Chicken to many, it is also an amazing bird: beautiful when landing against the light, a trooper with tough surviving skills and, as I witnessed from a hide last Sunday, a caring parent. This chick was thoroughly cleaned by its mother, with special attention given to its backside. Pity - just like its human equivalent, it will not remember...

New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
One of the parents of the fledgling that featured on Fridy.
Just about sums it up. Fox family has been providing lots of entertainment and photo opportunities.
This poor papa fox kept trying to nap in the sun but the kits weren’t cooperating!
Visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) on Friday and there were so many sheep and lambs, squirrels, birds, herons, ducks, ducklings and geese with their goslings.....today (Sunday) we had to really search out this family, I think all the wildlife had hidden away from the humans as Friday afternoon was lovely weather but super quiet !
I got a few though, so watch this space over next few days....

Great Crested Grebe mother and chick.
There are still 5/6 chicks, which is a testament to the dedicated parenting of the adults. It probably also helps that the family spend most of their time near the viewing hide - which will certainly deter Marsh Harriers, Herons and Bitterns. The biggest threat will be from a large Pike lurking in the depths.
This chick (the smallest) was the only one that the parents still tolerated on their backs.
