I noticed young sparrers on the grass in front of the house, fluffing and fluttering as they do when they want to be fed. Then a parent arrived and fed them
A few more sparrers arrived
A couple of the young ones went into the water-dish – looked like they didn’t quite know what to do – but enjoyed having a splash
Then a couple of young starlings muscled in on the act
This was all accompanied by a lot of cheeping and chirruping.
The young birds are fledging – and learning.
