| A baby sparrow newly ememerged from its nest yesterday |
 |
| The big launch into the unknown |
Every year the eaves come alive as birds set up nests under the eaves and we watch the busy toing and froing with nest materials and then listen for the first delicate cheeps. As the days pass, the parent birds grow cross and weary bearing grubs and worms to their ever more demanding brood until one day, at that magic moment a baby bird emerges ready to take on the world. Yesterday morning as I idly glanced out of the kitchen window a baby sparrow emerged and sat for a few minutes clinging to the Ivy and then he was gone...
The European monsoon struck again last night and so the day of sunshine today was a bonus for us so a few moments from the hosue and garden - maybe I'm doing the Union Jack thing to death now but I think my cards look jolly anyway!

ReplyDeleteHi Sue and thanks - I think we've got plenty of cards but I'll make sure we keep some for you!! Chrisitne
ReplyDeleteGlorious few posts again, you are a dab hand with a camera; the seeing eye roves.
ReplyDeleteAnd when else do we get to show such enthusiasm with the Union Flag. Jolly good, I say!
We have a family of very vocal wrens with young in one of the large box shrubs next to our terrace steps, they've been there for years, completely oblivious to family comings and goings. AND seeing off blackbirds, thrushes and blue tits if they venture closeby. Sunny here today. Weeds in profusion!
