Okay, it’s probably more of a toddler than a baby but ’tis the season for young fledglings to be out and about, learning the ways of the world from their parents, so I thought I’d share some shots of one of four young Blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla) that were harassing their parents most vociferously at Cosmeston recently.

This little one wasn’t quite sure what to make of the human with the camera pointed in its direction. I feel it was giving me a rather angry look in the photo above right and the caption for the image below might well read, ‘Are you still there?’
