Thread: Show Birds

Hi Barrie/Paul

seems to be quite a few young Warblers around

what do you reckon these are, young Blackcaps? ..... although I could not see any brown cap on the head

I'm not sure, (no idea in the first and the last group of images), but there are quite a few Blackcaps around, in the Mulberry Tree










a few more of a different bird ....... Melodious Warblers?









and a few more - look like "first day outers"

A couple of ordinary birds...

Tried to get some other less ordinary but the sheer numbers of screaming-shouting-running small children kept them well away, even though Blackbutt Reserve is normally full of them. The swan attacks any child who dares venture too close, and the ducks don't much care, they just jump in the water and swim away if they get too annoyed.

Ducklings!

there are 4 of them, now regular visitors to our Mulberry Tree - early morning and about 2000hrs until dusk. They are like lightening and have a semi raiding party mentality.
