Perhaps you’ve observed that after watching warblers for some time, sparrows look big. Gloria (@Lucent508) captured them facet by facet.
This photograph I took as we speak is much from technically excellent however I prefer it bc it reveals the dimensions discrepancy between a White-throated Sparrow that may weigh btw 22-32g and Black&White Warbler that weighs btw 8-15g. The Sparrow seems to be like a hulk in comparison with this warbler! pic.twitter.com/pEadhzmWhl

On Day 25 on the peregrine nest at Charing Cross Hospital in London (Fulham and Barnes), one of many chicks explored the nestbox ramp. He came across the final step however loved the outing nonetheless (the stumble is final photograph although it truly occurred first). At one level his mom checked out him as if to say, “Are you OK on the market?”
Day 25
First chick goes out of the field for the primary time. Not all the time elegantly. However the ramp did its job 🙂 It was very straightforward for the chick to get again in. pic.twitter.com/hBW5OfVklF— FaB Peregrines (@FaBPeregrines) Might 8, 2024
Although they don’t seem to be “individuals,” falconcams give us perception into the person personalities of the peregrines on digicam. This yr the brand new unbanded feminine on the Wakefield Cathedral Peregrines nest (@WfldPeregrines) in Yorkshire, England has a behavior by no means noticed within the earlier feminine: “Our earlier feminine would by no means keep within the nest while the male fed the chicks.”
Within the video beneath the feminine watches the male feed the chick. Typically he passes her a morsel of meals which she swallows … or she feeds it to the chick. It’s not typically that you just see two peregrine dad and mom feeding one chick.
How a lot consideration does a single chick want? pic.twitter.com/qYidQNGkpi
