Nuthatch in the garden

As you can see in the first few seconds of the clip below, these birds are very fussy eaters on the bird feeder and therefore throw a lot of seeds on the floor to get to the ones they like best.
Last June, I noticed a baby nuthatch hidden amongst the leaves of the apple tree, pruning itself while patiently waiting for its parents to feed it and I would like to share these few moments with you in that same clip. Enjoy!

Young wrens waiting to be fed

This was a lucky encounter for me! I heard and then spotted a couple of baby wrens hidden in my hedges waiting for their parents to feed them. You can also see the parent collecting insects for them.
These birds are very small, a little smaller than a blue tit. Their tail looks like a small lolly pop sticking up.

Juvenile black bird eating a Bramley apple

In the wild, birds can't eat apples until the autumn when they are ready on the tree, so it is quite a treat for our feathery friends to get to eat them at other times of the year.
This clip was taken in May. The bird you see in the clip is a juvenile black bird who took a fancy to my apples. It would be one of the first animals to come and eat the apples I would put out every morning. As you can see, it just loved them!
