Babes in the Woods.

Due to bad weather and family commitments it's been a while since I've been up to the Goyt Valley.
On one of my last visits there, there was plenty going on and lots to see. Parent birds were busy collecting food for their young, and others, nesting materials for nests. I wonder how they have all faired in this particularly wet period.

Mistle Thrush have been plentiful in the area, and this one posed nicely for me.

This is a juvenile Song Thrush that had fledged, along with two others. It was being fed by the nearby parents.

This pair of Nuthatch were only just prospecting a nest site.

A lovely male Redstart in the evening sunshine. Hopefully now has young to feed.

    The thrush has some pretty markings. I love the nesting box too. Wonderful photos this week.

    Hello Adam!:) I came back to see the Mistle Thrush again. It's such a splendid shot. I saw one for the first time this year but my capture wasn't very good. Enjoy your Sunday!:)

    Thrushes are so great. And I see them (except briefly, through the brush) so seldomly.

    Great shots, Adam. (And seldomly is so a word, google, danggit!)
