This little one must be from the first brood. Mostly, though, I just hear them cheeping in the bushes, and making that funny kissing sound when they're being fed.

Just as well she had that sunshine earlier - not so much fun having to forage in the rain.
Young blue tit - you can see more blue coming in.

I planted two packs of mixed wildflower seeds a bit late, in May. I think this must be from the Californian selection, as I'm pretty sure I recognise some escholtzia foliage coming along nicely, but I'm not sure what this one is called.

I love listening to the cheery sounds that birds make. I don't think enough people take notice of it and just treat it as background noise. The wet robin picture is beautiful - well they all are, but that one I find exceptional. So much detail and the setting is captivating.
I believe the flower is call Five Spot (nemophila maculata) and I've never seen one before in a garden, only pictures which I guess is still true. It is a California native. Lucky you. Those blossoms are striking.
