A time to draw breath for those youngsters can be very demanding 🙂

Parenting is a tough job, esp. if you have to do it all in 3 weeks! 😉
Did you see the clip of the starling chick that landed in an osprey nest? It caused quite the stir! https://www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/european-starling-comes-face-to-face-with-iris-at-hellgate-osprey-nest/

What a fantastic clip, thanks so much for sending it 😊. I never knew that some birds use Osprey nests as nesting sites 😏

Someone one told me that they’d seen a starling chick demand food so effectively that a passing blackbird stopped and fed it!
