... or should I say
" A little Black Hole " as it is usual in Astronomy when something big disappears in such a little fledgling.
No artistic images but it was interesting to have 2 days observing nature Close-Up. My wife an I went to our weekend house and the 2 grown up Say's Phoebe had built a nest on one of my piers of the Astronomical Observatory. So I had the chance to sit down with a 500mm f4 tele on a 5D M III (now I know why I should not sell my 1D X, the speed and buffering for action shots is not good enough on the 5D M III) and take some images of the adults feeding the 2 fledglings.
At the beginning the parents were a bit worried (not much) but after they saw that the fat guy down there with the big white lens was no danger, they started to feed them all day long.
Never thought that in such a little guy would fit such a big butterfly ;D

One more with a nice juicy beetle.
Very interesting is the fact that the feeding is done one after the other. They always remember who got the last time and so alternatively they feed them both in equal portions.
-
Who can resist? But seriously, eating the wing part of the butterfly must be like eating dust.

Hi NancyP,
Well, I thought the same, but that is nature ;D
-
Nice capture, I hadn't seen baby birds up close in a while.

22nd of May ~ 2 weeks later. The last feeding and then one left that day and the other one left the next day.
Now I see them flying around the garden of my house, possibly the territorial binding to the nest is still there ...
