Fledged

I’ve been watching the newly fledged bluetit being taught by its parent to catch its own food.
I missed the actual maiden flight, but soon it was sitting on the fence with its beak open expecting the food to arrive and be popped straight in,  just as it always had been, but mum or dad, I’m not sure which, had a little heart to heart and seemed to be saying , Look kid I won’t always be around you’ve got to learn to stand on your own two feet. And you can’t perch on this fence for ever so here’s a grub to get you started then it’s down to you ok? You’ve got wings, use them.
So it flapped its fluffy little brand new wings and  off it went . 

Photo taken through grubby window so not too clear. Don’t look closely.
