First flight of Grey Fantails

I have to post some more from my backyard, I can't help myself. I turn around, and there are more Babies of all different kinds. Forgive me, here are more. I took them yesterday at the same time as the Wrens and more Yellow Robins. And I have noticed, there are some Grey Fantail parents that are more brown( like in these photos),they have brown young. And some more grey parents, (I will post later), that have grey young. So, here are some brown ones:

It was very funny to watch them on their first flight, they all started at the same time, they collided in the air,and two fell to the ground.

So sweet ML! I wouldn't get anything done if I had these guys flitting around my yard :)

You are so right Holly, I don't get much done. There are priorities in life. Have you seen the wren babies? I know they are your favourite birds, have a look under "There are new Wren Babies", they are so beautiful!? (only one person has commented), but I think they are gorgeous.

Thanks Holly.

Lovely shots as usual, Araminta. I've noticed considerable variation in grey fantails, not so much on their backs but more on their fronts. They seem to vary from pale apricot through pale yellow or lemon to off-white.
