Back to our bluetits!
Fred and Fantail are more interesting to watch, as Fred feeds Fantail much more regularly the Flash feeds Fluffy,
and equally important, the sun does not make taking pictures so difficult!
Here's a couple of close-ups of Fantail being fed.
An interesting sequence occurred later in the day. Fantail was preparing to leave the nest when Fred
appeared with some food. After a slight hesitation, she grabbed it and then they both rushed to be first
out of the nest hole. Fantail got their first, mainly we think because she was nearer rather than any
sense of chivalry of Fred's part.
Fantail struggles to get out of the nest cup. She's about to leave the nest when Fred arrives.
Fantail grabs at the food offered, and then they both rush to get to the exit hole.
Fantail wins - but she did have a head start!
