Photographer's Note
"FEEEEED US!!! We're hungry mom!"
Here are my new four best friends! These guys (black birds) were hatched last week.
Their mom are nesting under the ceiling of my garage.
These days; each time I step outside my frontdoor they can here me and they stretches high for food! It's funny to watch, but I'm a bit worried, because it looks like they are almost falling out of the nest. The nest is 2 m. (7 ft.) above concrete floor. So if one falls out, it could kill it self or the cat could find and....
So say hello to Harry, Berry, Larry and Terry! (Mom is named Linda :-)

Fabulous. Reminds me of my children when they were younger...
But really, I hoped for more "Danish" names than Harry, Berry, etc. :).

My mom's named Linda too, she would probably argue that ths picture looks alot like my brother and I when we were kids ( aswell as now I guess :o) This is a nice shot and you manage dto get their desparation into the frame very well.

Are these beauties nesting in an accessible spot right across the street from me?? I'm on my way next sunny hour ;-))
Excellent capture of these four hungry bills, I can just imagine the noise ;-)
How about rigging a safety netting up below the nest, if you're worried they might fly too soon?

Nice one Jorn - very good sharpness and composition. Yes, they are always crying for food. I know because I had some on my terrace two years ago - and they sh.. all over the place but they are cute indeed. Nice work.

Very nice! You are very lucky to have the opportunity for this picture. This was taken last year, I just saw your picture now. What ever happened to them?

Hello Jorn,
that΄s a wonderful lovely warm-hearted photo of these four bird-babies. I like the structure of their fur. It probably wasn΄t easy at all to get this shot but it was definitly worth. The yellow is a nice contrast.
