fledgelings

A few weeks ago, as some of you might remember, I erected a bird feeding station in my back garden.  Sounds grand, but it's basically a pile of old sticks hastily roped together to form a framework from which I can hang various birdie treats.

Anyway, these past few mornings a family of blue-tits - mum and dad along with two recent fledgelings - have been flying in.  While the siblings hide in a nearby acer tree, the parents fly back and fore servicing them with those aforementioned juicy treats.

Here's a picture of one of the parents and one of their chicks (the one in the acer):

Oh yes, before I forget, the video.  You can see more birds as well as some insect life from within my tiny garden.
