Well everyone, this is my last Bird of the Week Challenge for 12 months! Thought it was appropriate that we have a series of photos looking at baby birds.
Keep an eye out and I will post details introducing you all to Monica and letting you know how to get in touch with her if/when you need to.
Cheers
Holly
Fairy Martin mother feeding one of her precious babies. It's a lot of work for the parents but they are more than up for it. This mother successfully raised three chicks.

Wow Reflex, that is a great shot. Holly should enjoy this round
Sue
Noisy and always hungry.

I took this a few years ago. Great opportunity at the time and I should have saved the RAW file. I would process it differently now and kick myself for missing including the foot.

Have a great break Holly and i hope all goes well.
I have posted this before but it is my favourite pic of young birds.

Baby Superb Fairy Wrens, this was their first flight out of the nest. All huddle together.

Those superb Fairy Wren pictures are wonderful, they must be so small.
