Baby birds

I just had to share these pictures of some visitors to my garden studio where I make my beads. Here's mum and the chicks wandering down the path ...

You can't see all of the youngsters, there were around 10 or 11 altogether. And here's a close of up of them trying to hide from me and my camera in the dying foliage of the daffodils ... on a signal from mum about the danger she thought I posed, they all froze. All together now ... "ahhhhh!"
