The hedgerows are alive with the chattering of fledglings as they jostle for food, and the adults are working tirelessly to bring back adequate provisions. I&#39;ll start though with an adult, seen in local woods this morning. It&#39;s just a blackbird, but it&#39;s a nice simple shot.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/blackbird_2405127893.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Next up is another common sighting at work, a fledgling magpie. These are extremely noisy, and typically bold in their behaviour. This one was strolling around just by a nesting herring gull.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/magpie_fledgling_2405127964.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Back home in the garden, the young great tits are very active. This one seems to have recently taken a bath.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/great_tit_fledgling_2405128000.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Next up is a fledgling dunnock.

There was less activity there today, but I did see it pop its head out a few times, and the mother was busy in the morning.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/gsw_chick_2405127947.jpg' \/><\/span> <br \/><i>Camera note: blackbird, magpie and woodpecker taken with the Canon 7D  and EF 400mm f\/5.6L USM lens.
