Not quite sure what has happened – but these last two days, when I have taken my photographic opportunity with the little nestlings – there appears to be only one left! ;-(
Up until the end of Day 4 there were definitely two babies (see post below) but by Day 5 the resulting photograph showed this:
At first, I thought that one baby bird might be covering the other a little – but even my photograph taken today (Day 6) below showed the same one nestling!
I wonder what has happened?! There’s nothing I can do now, so I’m trying not to ponder on it, although I hope this last little baby blackbird survives.
Time – and nature – will tell.
Oh look! You can clearly see his little wing feathers now. Best not get too attached I suppose. Who knows what happens when you’re not looking. Imagine all those nests hidden in trees and bushes that we don’t see – all that drama going on around us and we’re usually ignorant of it.
Oh no, I am sooo sorry to hear that there is only one little nestling left… I too wonder what happened… Here’s holding thumbs and big toes that the little one survives.
I wonder if the parents are moving them elsewhere?
I hope this one makes to the adulthood… xxx
Hoping he makes it, it’s a tough world out there! I was just thinking yesterday how I would not want to be a deer… Even my friendly dog wants to chase deer.
Hi Al!!! It has been forever, and I need to catch up reading your Wonderful Blog! So much has been going on in my life lately. My dad has been struggeling with canser, had surgeries and Chemo, he is better now, and them My beloved grandmother passed away 2.5 weeks ago, and it is so hard to be this far away, and me and my grandparents are so very close, they are like my second set of parents, have always been there for us grand kids at all times with so much care and Love. I jsut wanted to drop you a few lines, and I hope you and yours are well. We have it warm and cozy over here, summer started a little earlier this year then normally which is a nice change.
Sending you Lots of Hugs!!!!!
