Joyous time (Periparus ater)

Here's an adult Coal Tit with his fledgling. Appears to be some fat is the choice.

It is always a special moment to witness the love between a parent and its offspring. A real treat D! Love those blue feet. TFS!

What a charming capture of this Coal Tit feeding a fledgling, Delia!
I've started to get pictures of the ones in our garden now.
