Chaffinches fluffy baby starling the lovely tree sparrow not a good shot through the window but a tree sparrow feeding its young with a young chaffie beside them
Sheila! You're at it again!! A Tree Sparrow, I haven't seen one since I was a child! From now on I shall think of your site as Sheila's Magic Garden, all your photos are delightful and you are so lucky to get so many different birds. I see you are still seeing the Yellowhammer as well, sob!! ;)
The baby Starling is so fluffy it almost looks like a duckling!
By the way I have just seen this year's first juvenile Goldfinches in the garden.
You are so kind and from someone who has such a fabulous blog it is praise indeed.that is a lovely title as well shysongbird thanks for that.I really am getting a lot of the treesparrows and they are just gorgeous little things.I think I saw a baby yellowhammer but not very good at getting it right.Congrats on the goldie babies,still hoping.
thanks Warren.I am ashamed to say before I started really looking and enjoying birds I didnt know there was a difference between tree sparrows and house sparrows.I have quite a few visit my garden and today there has been lots of little ones.Just love their little caps Sheila
You really do have the most wonderful array of visitors there Sheila my friend, I think I saw a tree sparrow on k=just the one occasion last year nothing since. That little starling is adorable!! Jayne
Fabulous birds Sheila, your garden really is amazing. I love the tree sparrows, never had any here, it's too urban I think. The baby chaffinch being fed is lovely and your starling is so fluffy!
For all who have lost.
GODS LENT CHILD by Sue Coad
I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine God said,for you to love thee while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.It may be six or seven years of forty-two or three,but will you,till I call him back,take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,and should his stay be brief,you'll always have his memories as solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,since all from earth return,but there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true,and of all the folk that crowd life's lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again.
I fancy that I heard them say "Dear God Thy Will Be Done"For all the joys this child will bring,the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,we'll love him while we may and for all the happiness we've known,we'll ever-grateful stay.
But should the Angels call him much sooner than we'd planned,we will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

Wonderful photos again, Sheila. I love the fluffy starling - mine were older when they came.
The only tree sparrows I've ever seen are on your blog :) and you even get a baby.
That stream and your location are a magical combination.
