I love them - they flit about constantly at this time of year, although when I was on the hill further down the road last summer, I was treated to loads of the youngsters darting around with some adults, and then sitting on the deer fence - just chillin'.
There was around thirty of them at least. I watched them for ages. Happy days
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Just been watching a sparrow feed a young 'un. The baby sat on a branch about 18" away from the feeder and mum had to keep darting back and forth those few inches to feed it. I kept thinking "surely it'll get the idea in a minute!" but it didn't happen.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoying the needed rain fall we all seem to be getting now
love the bird pics and feeding talk. I have so many birds and bird feeders now that sometimes it's like a mad bird woman! And boy are they greedy and costing me a fortune! Bless em!
dove your ear looks ouch! And hope it heals soon.
BL safe journey home. I saw your comment re best in show garden and don't think I saw it either!
Fairy I did get some goodies mostly rusty type things ie a dragon fly, plant supports and a couple of sphere type thingys
chicky glad you're safe home from the states and sorry to read about your dad. Sending you and him love and get well hugs xx
I did BM, but we had a couple of dodgy bags, where the sunflower hearts were sent in loose woven sacks and had obviously been left for sometime out in the rain and become sodden wet - probably the delivery company ... within a few days the sunflower hearts had all stuck together and started to go mouldy. I got my money back promptly but it's left me wary.
The last couple of bags I bought from the local garden centre when they had a big price reduction on ...... they've got a 20% off sale coming up so I'll get some more then.

We love watching them being busy around the seaweed and rocks on the beach in Cornwall

And doesn't watching the birds make a pleasant change from all the depressing news every day!
We watched a little sparrow being fed by an adult at the last house. They were both quite happy sitting a few feet away on the patio

Yes, youngsters of all sorts have a lot in common

Thanks BM
I'm sure it'll be fine in a day or so - just not very pretty at the moment 
I'm buying bird food in something like half hundredweight sacks that Pa's stockfeed used to come in.
