Fledglings



These recently fledged Sedge Warblers were a delight to see from Marion Mawr hide at Ynys-hir this morning. Parent birds were busy feeding them just below the hide.
We also saw at least 3 Spotted flycatchers on our short walk there.


Later Buster and I went for a walk on Foel Fawr where we saw another young bird being being shown the ropes by its parent. A male Yellowhammer had his work cut out trying to teach his offspring that it really shouldn't get quite so close to us. It ignored him and came to have a look at us from very close by.
