We had a late start this morning. Life in the bluetit world had been well under way for some time by the time we got up.
We start with another example of Fred feeding Fantail - and he certainly takes his time over it. In this sequence, he was in the box for over 25 seconds which when compared with some of Flash's efforts seems very leisurely.

This whole sequence took about 25 seconds from when Fred entered the box up to the time the picture above was taken.
