It is a common sight at this time of the year to see baby birds on the ground in your garden without any sign of their parents, says Tim Sexton from Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.And it is safe to say we get more wildlife enquiries from concerned members of the public through the early spring than at any other time of the year - most of which relate to fledgling birds. The process of fledging starts with the young birds jumping out of the nest. Even though they may be fully feathered, it still.
