Looks like it's BIG changes for everyone as the Year of the Horse rolls around! Time for huge hoofers - whether they are ready for it or not!

@'s below!
The image is a mix of green, rusty brown and yellow tones found on the grasslands in Bushy Park. There's a flat-topped ant mount in the centre of the scene with a fledgling kestrel perched, right-centre of the scene, with it's back to the camera but looking over it's shoulder so that the facial features are visible. This is the moment that I first saw the two young kestrels leave their nest tree about twenty metres away. They didn't fly far and after a short while exploring the ground and flying to nearby hawthorn trees, they returned to the nest tree for safety and to be provisioned by their parents. Two other nest sites have young branching, the stage before they fledge and take their first proper flights. It's an exciting time of year! Here's the RSPB's description of a kestrel: Both males and females have pale undersides with black speckles. Males have a slate-grey head and uppertail with a single black band at the tip. Females are browner all over, with bars all along the uppertail Both males and females have dark ‘tear’ marks extending below each eye. Wing tips are more pointed than a Sparrowhawk’s. Longer tail than other falcons, with a black band at the end. Fanned out while hovering. The beak is yellow and black. Legs are yellow. They are between 32 and 35cm in length.

We have a starling with a poorly leg who has been visiting us for a few weeks. Whereas the other birds scarper, he speaks to me and hangs around when I put out mealworm (which he demolishes). I have called him Long John. He is lovely.

Update on the Robin's nest in the backyard tree.
As of this evening only one baby Robin remains. The other 3 have fledged.

While in the meadow, hares lay still and quiet,
I walked abroad among a crowd of strangers,
each eye with threat or hidden malice watching,
and as you slept, I’d slay the beasts and dragons ...

Gizmo has now fledged as well!

What a magnificent eagle world! Sunny has spread her wings! The eaglets will still soar around for a couple of weeks as the parents teach them how to hunt/fish.

Fledged (2025) - sculpture of empty nest by Lynn Wartski. Wet and needle felted bird's nest holds a split egg and a single feather on a natural wood base. Natural color wool roving fiber and yarn used in nest construction. Egg has a white interior and light blue exterior. A single needle felted feather rests on the edge of the nest. Sculpted forms are stitched on to natural wood base.
"Fledged" is the latest piece off of my work table. Capturing a current mood in #needlefelt. #BlueSkyMonday #fiberart #art #sculpture #robin #nest #fledge #feather

A Northern Saw-Whet owl peers out of a nesting box affixed to a Birch tree.
Delighted to see this #Northern #Saw-Whet #owl in a #nesting box; lifer #bird for me! I'll miss the #owlets as I #travel to my next destination before they #fledge, but still a joy to see their #mother!

The wingspan on this eaglet almost covers the whole nest. Won’t be long now. #Fledge
Here, on World Book Day, is the virtual launch of Fledge which took place five years ago during the height of the pandemic ... hope you enjoy the poems.

The remains of a robin's nest, and the bird box that they were staying in.
