Firstly, the baby Sparrows - doing their Feed Me, Feed Me Now thing . . .
. . . much fluffing of feathers, fluttering of wings, and frenzied cheeping . . .
. . . the adult pictured here is evidently gleaning scraps from the fat balls to keep the little ones quiet.
On a more horticultural note, the hedgerows roundabout are studded with these little white stars at the moment - an online search identifies it as Lesser Stitchwort, unless anybody knows any differently?
Finally, we have our very own nesting Pied Wagtails. They have positioned their nest somewhat awkwardly, right behind our log store (so the logs are off limits right now) but seem quite happy despite our comings and goings. No sign of any chicks just yet, but there is some serious nest-sitting going on.
Hopefully more photos to follow:
