Dashing

I've never had the opportunity to watch a bird going backwards and forwards gathering nesting material.  That is, until this morning.  This ambitious little chiffchaff was carrying huge sticks across the path in front of me to its nesting site in low-lying brambles while its partner persistently chiffchaffed above.  

It was a delightful moment to steel me for a double shopping trip. Part I complete.  Part II later when it's quieter.
