recently. The weather has been good, plenty sunshine which has brought out adult birds with their chicks. House Sparrows and chicks were the first to come. The next was a Blue Tit chick, sitting on the gate being fed. Then the inevitable Starlings, causing mayhem and kicking up a din. Starlings came later this year for whatever reason and the chicks appeared more mature than when they first came last year.The other day I noticed a Coal Tit going to the suet block, feeding and then flying towards my front door. Just thought it was perching somewhere convenient to devour the food. This went on for a short time so I thought I would investigate. I look out the window in the direction it was flying and there sitting on the handle of a barrow planter was a Coal Tit chick. This was the first ever Coal Tit chick that I have seen. I grabbed the camera and managed to get a few shots. Post a pic of the adult feeding the chick later.
