2 chicks are fed by a parent just outside the window of my home office here in Blarney.
The chicks have been there all evening and I just looked out again and they’re still there. Unfortunately the neighbour’s cat, Patches, saw them too and is keeping a vigil close by. We saw the parent bird literally dive bomb the cat several times but Patches won’t be moved.
A moment before this shot was taken the first chick was fed. I have a photo of that too but I thought this was the better one.
Is it common for young birds to huddle together on a wire in the shelter of a house? It troubles me that they might be in danger or injured and can’t fly away. Anyone know?

Ok, a final wedding post for the time being. We spent a long time being sensible with the photos and this shot of the groom and the best men was about as relaxed as the posed portraits got (bar some shots of them playing pool earlier in the day).
But the boys definately seemed to be getting a little tired of the traditional shots so I made them all jump off of a tree stump - I’m sure we could have gotten even sillier but, alas, the wedding breakfast was awaiting our return!
