Fantastic close ups Sue! What is your baby ? Something finchy ?
ReplyDeleteIt's a young greenfinch, Janet. I was a bit worried when it was looking in the pond.
DeleteAwww, how cute. I've had lots of juvenile greenfinches in my garden this year, the adults are regular visitors, they adore the black sunflower seeds.
ReplyDeleteOurs love sunflowers hearts, Jo
DeleteAwww, keep safe little one.
ReplyDeleteHe/she was cheeping for mum who was still feeding, Jessica
DeleteHow cute.
ReplyDeleteVery cure Daphne
DeleteSue, have you ever seen a fledgling Wood Pigeon? I never have, although we get lots of pigeons visiting the garden, and I think we have even had them nesting in a neighbours tree. Maybe they leave the nest at a much more advanced stage than other birds?
ReplyDeleteI haven't Mark. I know they patents feed them on pigeon milk that is very nutritious. Maybe once weaned they are more independent or maybe their plumage means we don' notice the diffference.
DeleteLovely pictures Sue!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alain
DeleteHow pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey are aren't they tpals and s good string voice
DeleteWhat a pretty bird. I haven't seen greenfinch here. But goldfinch loves to sit in front of my window and sing. Annoying little bird. :)
ReplyDeleteWe get lots of goldfinches too Leanan
DeleteOh, how gorgeous Sue, I love greenfinches.
ReplyDeleteSo do I Paula but we get far fewer than we used to,
DeleteThat's just great, wonderful pics!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee.
DeleteA lovely looking bird and some great photos.
ReplyDeleteIt is, Kelli
DeleteOh, what a sweetheart! We've had a few of these this year, but you can't beat seeing them like this. Marvelous post!xxx
ReplyDeleteDo you think they are rallying after the horrible finch disease, Snowbird?
DeleteI really hope so, we didn't have any in last year but have had three broods in this year so far which has to be a good sign.....and I have a fair few in my garden, it's a good job they are so long lived, at least they can have plenty of offspring.xxx
DeleteSo cute. We have so many visitor on my garden, a week ago I found a baby finch under the arch that full of passion fruit vine. I guess the baby was fallen from its nest on the oasdion fruit vine. Hope your will grow happily there.
ReplyDeleteI hope your cats didn't spot it, Endah
DeleteLovely images Sue, it's been a while since I've noticed a Greenfinch juv in the garden - always a joy to see especially with first tentative steps like these :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that they are making a comeback. Shirley
DeleteLovely photos Sue they seem unafraid of humans at that stage not quite sure what to do with themselves - I wonder at what stage in their lives where they become wary of us.
ReplyDeleteAt this stage they are definitely at their most vulnerable, Elaine, Mum was still feeding so I didn't get too close and relied on the zoom
