Thanks for posting that, it's very interesting, makes you want to look out for wildlife all the more.  Aren't birds just lovely.

Yes they are - we have lots of fledglings using our garden this year - blue tits, great tits, blackbirds, numerous sparrows, greenfinches and so on.  I could stand watching them from our kitchen window all day long.

I love watching the fledglings too - last year we had a sparrow nest in the winding hole of our old tractor and the babies all fledged.  They build nests in the most obscure places.  We also usually have a wren here nesting but haven't seen them so far this year  .  We have a bat in our cow shed that comes out at dusk in the summer and I adore standing outside whilst it swoops about.  It comes really close!
