Great Tit family - getting breakfast

A family of Great Tit have been around in Andy M's garden for the last week or so, usually seen travelling through the bushes and trees as a family, young following the parent's lead, searching for insects and other tasty morsels.

However this morning, he watched them seeming getting a 'quick take-away breakfast'!  The way this seemed to work was .... the three young all line up on top of the feeders making as much noise as possible, while the two adults repeatedly dropped down below to take a sunflower seed from the feeder, then hop up and deposit it into a gaping youngster! 

Maybe this was 'Lesson 2 - Garden Feeders'!
