I've not seen as much of them being fed, as the resident blue tits... But have a bonus adult Coal tit from April.
2/3
- May 9th: parent's frantic sorties to/from a box in our big evergreen.
- May 24th: curious creatures emerged, lacking the distinctive eye stripe.
- May 29th: beg...
- ... and you shall receive nourishment!
3/3
- This poor parent was so over-worked, and under-groomed, it looked like it had been chewed on!
- Constantly outnumbered (what you looking at?!)...
- All-day games of chase with a full brood (at least 3, here).
- But what a pay-off!

Baby Coal tit, happily sat in the jaws of a beast! (Monkey puzzle tree.)

Baby blue tits are all over our garden, including this already charismatic chappie, mere weeks old!
My favourite bird shot to date, in terms of charm, detail and fluky halo bokeh. But what effort went into raising them..?

Oh, I've never seen their neck feathers roughed up like that. Is that from singing (or wind)?
