Mallows

There are a couple of places in our wild garden where mallows (Malvaceae) grow. Wonderful, elegant flowers ranging in colour from white to pale purple.

The Field

Many people never get tired of looking at the sea. Depending on the light, the time of the day, the wind and many other factors, it is never the same and always interesting or pleasing to the eye. I feel the same looking at the meadow I call The Field. It changes color during the year, it is where so many animals live and depending of the time of the day, it can look very differently  from one hour to the next.

The wagtail chicks have left their nest !

It was a rainy day when the wagtail chicks were, more or less, forced to leave their nest. The parents were pushing hard for them to try their wings and eventually they could be seen all over...

This poor chap ended  up on the window sill..

While this one found her/him self down on the ground..

 One found a soft spot on stone covered with moss..

And a third one managed to land on the electrical wire where one of the parents very quickly found it and started to bring some much needed food. 

This feeding has now gone on for several days and I wonder how long the stressed out parents must do this?
