We’ve had lots of youngster this summer, and a few of them are just starting to get their adult feathers coming through.

Nuthatch briefly appeared at the far end of the garden a long time back during the winter.
Have heard it around, but not seen, until today. It appeared near the main feeding station just by the house, and stayed for a good long while, exploring and feeding.
Every summer eagerly await the arrival of baby bullfinches. Heard one in the bushes last Friday, and the first appeared on the feeders on Saturday (a very wet day to be exploring the big outside world!).
Since then another youngster appeared yesterday, (we have 6 adults in the garden all in pairs, now along with 2 youngsters so far). Chubby and just like their parents enjoy munching endlessly on sunflower hearts.
First of the young greenfinches out and about today.
First of the goldfinch youngsters out and about today.
In amongst the flurry of youngsters in the garden, spotted the first of the baby robins out and about for the first time this morning!
