Newly fledged wheatears


Pair of wheatears feeding 2 newly fledged young this morning at West Scout (below Gaddings Dam). Watched them for a half hour or and the 2 young were still finding their feet (wings?) but managing to get about very well indeed. Took a few photos - sorry for the quality but I couldn't get any closer without disturbing them.

Great to have some breeding Wheatears - so many nowadays seem to just move through then we see them on the way back. Very few have stayed to breed in recent years. Good record Jeff
