    Default Coal Tit Fledgling

    There was some thing about this little bird that made me look several times. I couldn't mak up my mind if it was or wasn't a Coal Tit. I knew it wasn't a Willow or a Marsh Tit. Just some thing was different.
    Then on close up I noiced. It was the beak. It had a gape. I realized it was a fledgling.

    Well done, Beryl!

    The bird in the first pic is SO amazed at how the world looks outside the box!

    We used to have lots of Coal Tits in Ayr, and I loved the squeaky 'cheep' sounds the fledglings made as they scrambeled all over the pine trees, following their parents. Don't see as many here - apart from in winter!

    Thank you . It's very hard to get a Coal Tit here, they are always so high up let alone a fledgling so yes I'm rather pleased although it's not a fantastic photo. It'a a recording

    Nice to have caught one, Beryl. What do you mean by "...It'a a recording.."
