WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU TODAY - 2017

Thank you, yes I see what your saying
Sedge Warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) -> Chiffchaff (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) - BirdID's Bird Guide - Nord University - Birdid

 

Thanks @martin-f and @strongylodon it was definitely a Chiffchaff. The plumage was less defined than the Sedge Warbler and it had a more rounded body.

 

PLEASE MAY I ASK FOR SOME HELP??

I've just gone into the ensuite to clean my teeth & noticed I have a baby blackbird in the shower, I've blinking disturbed him, he was asleep but now he's awake & alert. I've put in a bowl of water & a bowl of cat food. What I need to know is what would you do in the morning? Should I just open the velux window or should I carry him downstairs & put him in the garden? I don't know how he got in because all the windows have been shut today with the wind & rain, he might have been here since yesterday....now I'm fretting he's not had any food.
Any advice will be gratefully received thanks in advance xx

 

I would leave him in the dark while first light, then put him in a safe place in the garden, mum/dad will find him.

Thanks @martin-f . Just to update you, baby blackbird started singing at 4.30, it was a wonderful sound . I picked her up & took her outside, Daddy blackbird was singing (more like shouting) on the workshop roof, I put the baby in a bush, then ran back to the house, daddy blackbird flew straight to the bush , phew! They are now reunited....me I'm tired from the worry & early start! Worth it though!

 

I had simliar with a baby pigeon a few years back, found out i'm really, really allergic to pigeons

 

Thanks for the update Beckie glad all ended well ,

Two for today. I know the starling but just can't identify the other. They are coming and going constantly now and doing battle with the starlings and tits.
Please put me out of my misery!
