Sparrow fledgeling

[ladylouise62]

This is actually taken from mid-may last year. If you look to the top left you can see another bird - probably an adult, but possibly even a second fledgeling. The reason I spotted this was that my cat kept staring out of the bedroom window and miaowing... and this was what started her off.

Oh yes, love the fledgling gape, always makes them look miserable, or like one of the Thelwell birds.

LOL, it does look like they are thinking:
"...so let me get this right - I have to leave a cosy nest where I get room-service, to jump off a roof to get my own food... and possibly be eaten by a cat. Remind me - why is this best?"
