    Great idea, Beryl!

    I've put a couple of pics on your 'Young Pied Wagtail' thread, but here is a different one of him!

    Also, here are a couple of a baby Blue Tit in the garden recently. Please delete them if I've posted them before.....

    (Must try to get some more 'baby bird' pics now!)

    These young ones were on the Beaulieu River yesterday.

    Sorry to say that the boat trip route was a bit far from the Shelducks on the shore. They were like little striped humbugs with legs!

    LOl. I took loads and loads of shots but he flew off in the end taking the snail with him as people and cars come along the lane. The lane is all along the RSPB reserve
    Yes it does look like a baby snail

    Some more Baby Birds
    I came across these baby Dunnocks. Just fledged and enjoying their new found freedom . The kept running back and forth along the wall and one kept jumping sideways this way and that. I made a little video but they were rather fast and it doesn't do your eye good to watch.

    Tha last one was singing all the time . Such a pretty little song

    Thanks Rolf. They were so cute . I watched them for quite some minutes and pointed them out to two elderly folk who were delighted to see them. They said they wouldn't have known they were and would probably have frightened them off. Made there day I think

    How wonderful, they must have been fun to watch. I like the first one because you can see them jumping about (made me smile), and the last one is just a lovely shot.

    Thanks, folks! I liked the Moorhen chicks ones best too, but they were down the stream in a part where there was a lot of dappled shade, so the scene was set by nature!

    Mind you, it's the sort of place where you really don't know what to photograph first as everything looks SO nice!

    Fantastic shot there, Joe. It's very clear and a nice light.... I've been having too much trouble with the bright sun recently.
