Hi All,
These two little beauties were feeding in my garden several times yesterday, and the one on the left was feeding the other one! (I wasn't lucky enough to get that shot!! :C )Now I know it's not a baby, so can you tell me why this was happening? Is it a 'courtship' thing? and who would be feeding whom? Thanks for your help.
All the best, Judo.

It's lurve, male feeds female - sob sob my Robins have deserted me.
 
Hi Judo.

I agree with Chris: I saw two Blue Tits exhibiting the same behaviour the other day. All together now, " Love is in the air, everywhere you look around,............."

All the best.

Hi Judo,

What a great picture! :t: It's definately courtship, the male feeds the Female.
Both my robins appeared together on my bird table last week feeding on the mealworms. Lovely site to see. :D

Hi Chris, Baz & Dale,
Thanks a lot guys, I thought it must have something to do with courtship but had never seen it before. It's nice to know it's the male feeding the female, makes a change!! it's usually the other way round! ;) LOL
All the best, Judo.
 
Hi Dizzy & Lydia,
Thank you so much. I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply to you, I've been having problems with my computer and getting back on line.
All the best, Judo.
