blackbirds are out!




I heard some loud tweek-tweek in the garden,
as the sound of a babybird.
So I went out for inspection at the birdsnest.
To my surprise no bird anymore in the nest!

When I looked closer,
suddenly a young bird flew away,
who had not been sitting in the nest, but close by hidden in the ivy.

Both father and motherbird were alarmed...
screaming, tweeting very loud and making me very clear I had to go out of the way !
Later I saw another babybird sitting in the ivy, close to the nest.
I only shot a rather unsharp photo.
anyway thats better than no bird.

It happens so quickly. One moment they are babies, then the next they are fledglings! I love the face on shots--their beaks are so cute in their faces. lol
