Relief

The very next day, Tane was back on two feet.

I had been anxious that the food on the ground was dangerous, or perceived to be in a threatening location. So, using "single use plastic" containers and garden twine I created an extra feeder for the back lilac.

In the morning, I watched him eat from it twice and later in the day I was able to see he was back up on two feet.

He still looks a little pecked about the face, but he didn't appear to be favouring one leg at all.

Shame I didn't get the exposure right on these images.

Though they do have a certain something about them... if not as arty as that blue tit one a few days ago.

Later, I managed to photograph him feeding from the "thing".
