Blue tit fledgling

Our first blue tit fledgling this year was being fed by what looked like one very harassed parent.  It seemed quite independent actually, picking insects off the leaves, but as soon as the parent was around it’s mouth opened wide to be fed. 

The rain which seemed to persist for most of the day again put paid to the gardening that we had planned but did allow us to pop to the garden centre and stock upon more compost. No queue at all, funnily enough :)
