I had quite interesting experience today. We have a pair of blackbirds (Turdus merula) nesting in the honeysuckle on the border with the neighbor and today while drinking my coffee in the living room I saw this little fellow:

First we thought that our usual blackbird lady went more bold than usual, but then we noticed slightly shorter tail and generally it was somewhat more spotty. We went outside to check if it is not hurt and there were 2 more of them - apparently today the younglings decided to leave a nest. :D It was quite funny to see their clumsy flying attempts and how happy they were to hide under the rose bushes. :D

And here is the usual checking in on my fence by the mom-bird:

It is just so nice to see this sort of moments. It's also like that in a pic bellow, I was out in the garden playing with the camera and saw this lady bug having a nice drink after the much needed rain:
