Learning curve (Parus major)

The young birds are on a steep learning curve, lessons they must learn before they have young of their own. This one has learnt a feeding trick from some adult!

Great Tits grab a seed from wherever, then fly up into the nearest tree, holding it between their toes to eat it. There's one crucial class he's not attended yet, and that is to ensure he's hiding behind some foliage to thwart photographers!
