Thank to @nelinoeva for the contest. This week's theme is YOUNG BIRD/FLEDGLING.
Announcement and the rules you can read here
The Siberian stonechat or Asian stonechat (Saxicola maurus)
These birds live in open spaces, such as fields or meadows. In a small area near the hill, I saw a family of these birds. They had two kids, this is one of them.
The Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus)
And this is a young sparrow. They live on the outskirts of the city (these are not house sparrows, this is a wild species) and are constantly in a large flock. Young sparrows are easily recognizable by the yellowness on the beak.
The long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus)
Yes, young birds of this species do not look very beautiful. But when they become adults, they will turn into beautiful charms. Young long-tailed tit have red eyelids, burgundy spots on the head and muzzle.
The Eurasian hobby (Falco subbuteo)
Three future predators were sitting on a birch waiting for a parent with prey. They looked round.
The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)
The offspring of these birds appear probably among the very first. It even happened that already in the middle of May I saw fledglings. Young thrushes proudly walk the earth and wait for their parents.
The common linnet (Linaria cannabina)
This kid was in the company of three more, as well as dad. The father showed the children how to find food, because he ate the seeds himself. But still sometimes he fed the children.
The great tit (Parus major)
Now is the time for these birds. In any forest, a huge number of these kids. They scream, begging for food.
The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)
But the children of woodpeckers are calm and silent. In young woodpeckers of this species, the red cap is the entire length of the head, and with maturity it will become a small spot on the back of the head, and in females it will completely disappear.
