Mum…you’ve left me!!!

A starling was feeding this baby and then suddenly disappeared. The chick stood around, then hid amongst the plants and began to get distressed after about 5 or more minutes. I was getting a bit concerned that the neighbour’s cat may appear, but eventually the chick flew off!!

This other baby, a black bird I think, was searching for insects on the steps. The juveniles are so unaware of potential danger and wander about unconcerned!!

Update on our Great Tit family
The babies are only 5 / 6 days old and already you can see their wing feathers developing.
