I must have them in my garden Willpar. All ages and stages of plumage development with the usual soundtrack.

Fab pics, I love them.

You must have my sturks as I've not seen any for weeks.
It's been pretty quiet in my garden in the day recently. I'm wondering if the birds are feeling the heat too.

I can only see one adult bird. Hanging around with the kids trying to look trendy. Midlife crisis. :)

They were all across the ridge between the chimney pots and on the house opposite that one too ... and a few just arriving in our garden :tree:

Such a squabble over the suet candle this morning - one seemed to think it was his alone and kept chasing off the others, who eventually gave up and went to the suet pellets and fat balls :blackbird:
