The demands made on a parent Great Tit

Yesterday I felt very sorry for this dishevelled looking parent bird responding to the demands of a dapper looking youngster.    Exhaustion was the word which came to mind!   The parent bird continued to find morsels for the young bird without eating food itself while I was watching.  It was a relentless performance!

This morning a beautiful female Pied Flycatcher visited the garden, but by the time I'd assembled a camera, she had gone.
