    The Great Tits in my backyard fled their nest last week and the best way to tell them apart from their parents is, they are much puffier. 😀

    Thank you for this video… I have a cat who is now showing interest in a starling nest… He balances on the new fence I put up so he is now closer to the nest opening… I just want them to be safe… I help the parents with live mealworms… I love watching them with beaks full of worms and back to the noisy nest

    Nice one Liam. For the young Blue Tits and Great Tits it's also worth mentioning that they have something of a lemon-yellow wash to their plumage for a good while after leaving the nest. Colour vision deficiency notwithstanding of course! As for the Robin, I have heard people query whether the brown-mottled ones were the adult female. I soon put them straight though - in the nicest possible way! 👍😉👍 Keep up the good work buddy!

    • @AShotOfWildlife
      @AShotOfWildlife  26 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Cheers Graham. Thats a handy extra bit of information about the colouring of young birds. I will keep an eye out for that in the future. Nice work on setting them straight, although I do see how they could think that was the case I suppose. Take care and I hope all is well with you and your wife.

    In the last couple of weeks I've had a baby siskin joining it's parents, a you chaffinch and a young dunnock. I dread the baby starlings coming because they make a lot of noise chasing their parents round the garden for food which can alert the cats in our neighbour hood and also the sparrow hawk!!!

      Hello. I think it probably depends on the time of year, in the autumn a lot of bees die naturally but at other times they might be dying from disease of sadly, from pesticides.

    We've already had fledged Great Tits, in *April*! I was astounded. And then our blackbirds have fledged *three* chicks. They're noisy buggers! Although they do finally seem to have gone their separate ways. It's all very early.
    Meanwhile the dunnocks and robins are clearly nesting right now, as are the crows, which look ridiculous perched on the fat ball feeder, delicately prising out chunks of suet to take away.
