gct[2] - feeding

Tree sparrows : the youngster is flapping wings to encourage the adult to provide {more} food. No sound was recorded, but I can imagine the strong & loud "soliciting food" call the young one will be making - when I hand-reared a blackbird I got to hear that call quite a lot for a few weeks.

bcd - starling

Juvenile starling [Sturnus vulgaris] as it still has some "baby brown" feathers on neck and head. One of several about the car park & cafe area, some were sunning themselves, but other juveniles - and a few adults - were kept busy checking for dropped food etc around the cafe area. [amusingly, one of the adults was imitating a common mobile ring tone as part of it's repertoire of songs]

oaw - clever woodpecker

01 Jul 2021 2 113
Juvenile woodpecker (the older - or at least it looks larger - of this year's crop) having a snack. The fat-ball feeder has an anti-squirrel / anti-big-black-corvids mesh. The grid is sized to allow small birds access, but this clever woodpecker has worked out how to get a beak-full ... There is another, un-protected fat-ball supply at one of the other feeding stations.
