Birds in my backyard

Willy wagtails

 
Recently a pair of wagtails built a nest in a safe and quiet corner outside my study window. It was fascinating to watch the activity each day whilst they carefully constructed a small but sturdy nest in a concealed and sheltered spot, when they were finally satisfied with their new home the female laid three speckled eggs only leaving the nest to occasionally capture a meal. Soon enough the eggs hatched and three small bunches of feathers began to metamorphose into replicas of their parents. The demands of the three chicks kept both parents busy carrying morsels to the nest in a frantic relay until one day the chicks were taking turns to stand on the top of the small nest to stretch their wings and prepare themselves for the big wide world. Early one morning mother called and all three chicks took flight following her to a safer haven in the small forest nearby.
