Plucking up Courage... by vignouse

Plucking up Courage...

The Blue Tits don't waste time pecking at the nuts through the grille - they dive down, grab a whole nut and fly off somewhere safe to eat it. Visitors from previous years show how it's done and the newer visitors soon catch on but as the level drops it takes more and more courage to dive down to grab a nut.

Well this is one I'm going to have to set up, just to see if they'll do it here. Lovely capture of the bird.

@gamelee Here's a shot from just over a year ago with an 'old hand' showing a 'new boy' how it's done: http://365project.org/vignouse/365/2015-12-18

You know who wouldn't have to think twice about it - a squirrel.

I often find myself amazed that wood ducks have to fall out of their nests and land smack on the ground. How much courage that must take
