Not sure if it's a Blackbird chick or another bird. Not very nice but it is nature. Don't know how common this is. We've had Blackbirds nesting in the back garden for years, but i've never seen anything like this.
A poor shot of the blackbirds nesting outside our living room window(should probably say lounge, am revealing my working class roots!). I've counted four chicks but maybe five.
Not a great shot as when the light is right to illuminate the nest, it is also bouncing off of the window. Don't want to do anything that will disturb them. Maybe a polarising filter would help but Apple don't provide them (how inconsiderate) and am trying to do the 366 with iPhone only (plus it's a fag to go all the way upstairs to dig put the slr, whose battery will probably be flat),
but Wales! Driving along to Mac, no where to stop on this busy road (which they're now widening, grr will only ruin it) but had to take a pic of this view - love the estuary here and the sky was cool that day! Did you know they're filming Springwatch from here at the moment at Ynys-hir the RSPB site! We went to see the ospreys nearby at the Dyfi nature reserve, well from a distance anyway but they have three eggs soon to hatch! I might get a better view on the train back to MK in a couple of days :)
Springwatch is an annual TV venture on the BBC here in UK where they visit an area of wildlife interest with livecams in nestboxes, video features of various wildlife projects, etc. It's very encouraging how much interest it generates.
This isn't regrettably our garden, but an area of the local country park.
Umm..... coal tits? No, maybe great tits? (sorry, I know, pathetic!)
