Fledgling Wrens for #30DaysWild

Dalry Cemetery, one of the cemeteries we visit on our #DailyExercise is at the moment full of fledgling birds! We haven't seen the young sparrowhawks yet (though I think we'll hear them before we see them, they are very noisy around fledging time). Yesterday we were almost surrounded by fledging birds, great tits on one side and wrens on the other. Crafty Green Boyfriend was able to get these amazing photos of some of the wrens




There were several more young wrens fluttering around in the undergrowth!

Dalry Cemetery now has a Friends group, which has set up a website and a Facebook group

  2. Great photos! I spent an afternoon last week with a biology professor checking out bird rookeries on our island--his area or interest are heron and we have a lot (I never knew there were so many varieties of these birds).

  7. Karen - they're incredibly cute, you're right!

    Sage - that sounds interesting, Edinburgh has it's own heron rookery, which is amazing to watch, but we can't get there in lockdown

    Spirit of Simplicity - i love birdsong too, so beautiful

    Podo, Lowcarb, Rabbits' Guy, Birgitta - thanks

    Nature Footstep - we've seen more young birds in this cemetery than almost anywhere!
