After sitting with my back to this old gatepost for about fifteen minutes while I ate my lunch, it gradually began to dawn on me that the loud protestations from a pair of nearby Great Tits may well have something to do with me directly, so I decided to move myself and my gear across to the other side of the lane to finish eating over there. Within moments all became clear as the very indignant and slightly worried birds made straight for the post carrying food in their beaks….for their babies hidden about half a metre down inside!After the parents had departed once more in search of the next meal, I took a quick peek inside with my red-light torch and counted three healthy youngsters….Then I made an even quicker exit!It never ceases to amaze me how inventive and adaptable birds can be when needs must!
