Mums and chicks...

... This blackbird was taking advantage of a welcome smidge of warmth.
What you can't see on this image is that there was also a bedraggled wren (injured I think?) mirroring the action on the seat below.

It was just too heart-breaking to post the image.

(It's probably just me. It's been 'a bit of a day').

I'm sending my love to all of my 'chicks'...
