This morning I was lucky enough to witness the "first outing" of the new brood of wrens. I was just walking down the drive, when I heard a lot of chirping in the dense bushes.And as I almost never go anywhere without my camera, I could capture their first taste of the big outdoors.
They came out one by one and had to learn quickly how to hold on to sticks. They fell down, stumbled over each other. It wasn't easy to take photos, they didn't sit still for long.Here are some:
Wow, how do I do this?
ups,someone sits here, I can hold on to him
haven't got a tail yet, mum, I want a tail...
I can do this,just have to hold on this blade.
I hope you love the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. M-L
Beautiful!!!! It reminds me of a baby taking it's first steps! I love the last picture, a classic and very well taken photo! Well done M-L!
From the stunning Yarra Vally Mountains!
Very cute Araminta

You have captured a great moment Araminta, I never noticed that the young ones had small tails.
Hi cooee, that's why they can't fly propperly yet, they don't have a " rudder". (nice to hear from you cooee) M-L

Love your photos & your stories, Araminta.
I think you should write a book M-L "Life in my Garden". Your photos are certainly good enough and so are the accompanying stories. You already know a book binder and must have some contacts through that ... I am serious about this because these should be shared with more than we lucky BIBYers.

Thanks so much for the lovely compliment Alison. I have been contemplating it for some time. (A bit like Woko, who has taken a long time to think about posting photos. HaHa) M-L

M-L, I am pleased to read that you are thinking about this. :'D
