We feed the wild birds in our garden and this time of year I enjoy watching the jays, great spotted woodpeckers, blackbirds and sparrows visit our feeders to take beakfuls of peanuts back to feed their babies.

Today I watched a young sparrow, called a fledgling being fed by it’s parents. It was making lots of noise, opening it’s beak and fluttering it’s wings to get the attention of it’s parents. They then pushed the food into the babies mouth.
