Feed Me!

A lunch time one of our teachers came into the staff room to say that there was a mother thrush feeding her fledglings outside. Of course there was an immediate rush for cameras and a dash for the door.

Mummy thrush wasn't all that obliging and insisted on keeping her back to me and blocking baby while he was eating. She had found a grape that a generous student had obviously discarded (clearly just for her) and was trying to shove the whole thing into the babies mouth. In the end she mashed it up a little and he was able to cope then. Here she is trying to save a little for one of the other babies but this lad is demanding their share too.
