Blue Tit Fledgling
Cyanistes caeruleus (fledgling)
A Blue Tit Fledgling has left the nest but still stays close to shrubs, hedgerows, and woodland edges while it improves its flight. It makes short, fluttering trips between branches and continues to beg from nearby adults. Its diet is still rich in caterpillars and small insects, though it begins to peck at food for itself. The young bird has duller yellow and blue tones than the adult, giving it better cover among leaves.
