First Flight…

DSC00414And here it is, the very first flight of the baby Bluetits!

As you can see, one of the parents is feeding the nestlings.

I was lucky to get this shot as the birds are so very fast!

The parents will feed their young almost round the clock!

Blue Tits feed mostly on insects, especially caterpillars, and seeds.

Through this feeding, pattern the birds are of great assistance to the gardener in her attempt at natural pest control.DSC00413

  7. It is so wonderful when we can watch the baby’s leave the nest, and lovely that mum and dad feel they have everything they need to bring up their family in our garden. I always feel great happiness at a time like this when I think that I have created a safe haven for them (Well as safe as I possibly can) Bless them and I hope they are all safe.xxx
