AT my daughters today this just out of the nest baby flew into the window. I held him till he got his head together and as I had my camera in the car to take pictures of the ducklings I got him instead. He sat for a while and then pooped on me and flew.. Love the reflections in his eyes on the double download

Nice shot Val

Hi Val,
Great picture! Just to let you know that it is a juvenile Great Tit. Perfect in every way!

I would have paid to see your facial expression as he pooped on you. 🤣

Would not have been worth much Jim

as it was a small price to pay to get such closeup pictures that I would not have got, and it was not as if it was a seagull

He flew away happy and well which was the main thing...

Here is another picture..

Thank you very much Whitbyrover, Thanks you are right it is a juvenile great tit. My daughter lives in the country side and has loads of birds and having yellow on it thought it was a baby goldfinch as there are lots there.. As they have a big pond there are Moorhens, ducks and Canada geese there...

Nice detail. We have young birds crashing into everything around here!
Thanx for sharing.
