A busy morning on the bathroom windowsill.
Meredith’s steady hand catches this extraordinary al fresco feasting.
A Great Tit brings her hungry fledglings to feed on crushed madeleines.
Not the slow food movement! (Another demanding family)

Nice birds, clever they go first for the cake.I bet the pussycats like them also (lol).
How wonderful to have this on your windowsill. You are very lucky with your wildlife Meredith and Robin. Perhaps your next book could be about your ‘friends’. I’m sure that would be a best seller too.
What a treat- for them and us!
so sweet…..lucky birds with madeleines for breakfast, lol,lol!
I just finished balling my eyes out watching the Parade on the River
Thames and then I checked my e-mail. Thank you Robin & Meredith for
the pretty bird. Another mother doing her duty !!
Just wonderful picture. Lovely to see, lucky birds!
How I enjoyed watching the birds! I can imagine Meredith quickly looking for the camera, something you can’t miss. We feed our gardenbirds too but since we have got a cat, it is not that easy anymore. Maupie is one year old this week and she is racing after flies, sees all the birds and loves frogs… only to touch!but they scream a lot and we have to save them. You recognize this with little Beau, I think.
Do you know what the gardenbirds love very much… rolled oats. Last year we had twice bird’s nest and the parents raised them with “our oats”.
Lovely BLUE Tit family Robin, aren’t they voracious?
Ah! Thank ee kindly Captain……’twas a real treat!
We feed the birds also. Have all the new babies wanting to be fed! Feel bad for the parents – they seem smaller than their offspring!
How delightful and therapeutic to watch these sweet birdies! Thanks so much, your wife is a genius! Thank you Meredith.
Loved watching the little mother bird feeding her fat little ones. Hopefully,
she will get an opportunity to eat, also. Thanks, Meredith! Linda
Our Planet Earth is truly a beautiful place to live in. I’ve watched and watched those birds very carefully. Thank you, Meredith, for such a treat! But what Bird World law compells Mother Tit to feed her biggest fledgling first and most while the three smaller ones had to sit back and wait or attempt to feed themselves?
This is a real winner scene ” Demanding family”! What a welcome home. Just returned from the mighty heights of Machu Picchu and a lofty Peruvian Concords.
What a wonderful little mother. She made sure they all got fed. We live next to a woods, I never thought of putting food on my window. I am going to try this. It is delightful to watch. V from DE
