Springwatch - Docklands Style

The garden has given me some excellent birding so far this year. We have sparrows nesting under the eaves above the bathroom. Last year they raised 2 broods. This year their first brood fledged earlier this week, so there's every chance of a second brood.

There are at least half a dozen goldfinch fledglings around, along with sparrows, greenfinches and blue tits. On Thursday I was thrilled to discover a woodpecker chick in the garden, being fed by one of the adults.

I have some great pictures of fledglings, but sadly not of the young woodpecker. Hope you enjoy these pictures of a dunnock fledgling, a goldfinch fledgling and a close-up of adult Woody eating all the peanuts.
