Quod oculus meus videt

Noisy Bleeder!

Taking this photo has helped me identify this little bird as a fledgling Dunnock, assumed as it still has a yellow gape at the base of its beak.  He/she has been an ever present noise in our garden over the last couple of days, cheeping at the top of its voice from the apple tree next to our patio.  Now I know it to be a fledgling I assume it is calling for its parents, though I haven't seen any sign of other dunnocks in the garden.

After L had gone to her early appointment we headed over to the Chase and while she rode, I walked around the eastern slopes before returning for stable duties.  It really is very green everywhere at the moment.
