Every year around 4,500 fledglings are handed over to the RSPCA. The little birds were either abandoned or taken by people who thought they were helping them.The caretakers play dawn chorus twice a day to the birds to help the learn how to sing. The ability to sing is very important to birds, especially males who use song to protects their territory and attract females. RSPCA officers are going to monitor the released birds and see whether the singing lessons helped the birds to adapt.

I love these textile sculptures! It's amazing the variety of birds that this artist can make. She has also other animals but what I really enjoyed is the birds!

This post will be about something different. This is the same place I usually take photos. It was March 26. The sea froze during the winter months and now it was just starting to thaw but the ice still stretched out for many kilometers Here are the special guests of the day. 12 or more swans landed there. The ones with the brown spots are the younger swans.

I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these photos.

In a small village of Gretna Green the sky turns black when millions of starlings fly over it. It's an amazing sight drawing spectators from all over england. This can only be seen during the winter. You might think starlings bump into each other but that's not true. They keep the pattern the same way fish schools do.via Dailymail
