Today's the day ...................... for the next generation

Everywhere just now, there are young fledglings emerging from the nest and having to find their own way in the world.  It's a dodgy time for them because they haven't yet learnt the hard facts of life and how to stay alive.  They are way too trusting of everything and everyone - and just the cutest creatures imaginable.

I was in the middle of some weeding in the garden when suddenly there was a loud squawk in my left ear - and there perching precariously on the fence, about a foot away from me, was a baby bluetit with a gaping beak, obviously expecting some supper.  If only I'd had my camera with me?!

But I did have my camera when two baby woodpeckers were having a bit of a squabble on the path.  The one above flew up into the apple tree and then pretended that he/she knew what they were doing and had a bit of a peck at the moss.

Nice to know that the next generation is underway .......................
