Fluff

'You have to decide whether you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted" - Kevin Costner.

Never has there been a truer quote for my little newly fledged great tit here in the garden. I heard a bang against a window but couldn't see anything untoward but had been looking under the wrong windows. This little bundle of fluff I found 10 minutes later sitting hunched on it's last legs on the floor outside. Carefully picking her up I cradled her away from harm and she quietly came too but didn't want to leave my finger, sweet thing. She finally flew over to the willow tree ready to venture out into her world again. 

My Extras are the peregrines which I checked up on later this afternoon and all 3 chicks seem to be thriving which is good news! Mum sat in a distant tree and dad sat on the cliff face watching the nest. As soon as the youngsters looked a bit hungry he guardedly went to his cache behind a rock, picked out a plump pigeon and took it over to mum to pluck and feed to the chicks. They are great parents!
