Wearing out Papa Blackbird

Spent a long time this morning watching poor old Papa Blackbird feeding one of his offspring, only for him to be joined by a second baby, also asking for food. He did keep them waiting a bit, demonstrating how to forage for food, but still the beaks gaped and the wings flapped. What a hard-working father! And he only stopped once for a drink at the pond. It's now raining, but it's been nice enjoying 36 hours of sunshine.

Many thanks for all the bee-eautiful comments on my yesterblip. Have a good weekend, blipmates!
