Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #50ShadesOfGrey, birds with grey plumage and the Alt. is #Fledglings, newly fledged birds. I have a Dunnock and a Robin #ForJanet in that category and a Rock Dove Pigeon and a Collared Dove for the main theme.

From top left, clockwise: a very fluffy little brown, speckled, round Dunnock chick sits on the strut of a grey wooden garden fence in the morning sun, facing right; a juvenile Eurasian Robin takes an early morning bath. The bird's red bib has still not formed and it has just a coppery speckled patch under its face with grey below; a Collared Dove sits on a black metal arch, supporting a birdfeeder; a white Rock Dove perches on a branch, looking to the right.
