Sparrow Fledglings

Dunnock (Fledgling)The returning fledgling Dunnock (previously seen on my window frames) seen at last, after 2 weeks of hearing only its song.
Sparrow (fledglings)The returning fledgling Dunnock (Now seen (rarely) and not just heard) looks on wondering who these new arrivals are.
The new arrivals are a newly fledged brood of Sparrows from the one family in
the courtyard and the first brood of Sparrow in the courtyard this year.  I’ve counted 6 in the Brood, although this has been the only glimpse I’ve gotten of them. The Adult male has been working tirelessly at my window-feeder collecting seed for them (Video to follow shortly).

Yes, at last… almost 2 years since owning the feeder…. a Dunnock feeds from it!!!
It’s been on the window-ledge, sat on the Window-frames, even sat on the roof of the feeder… and finally just now his first feed from it.
