No, it's a Tannenmeise, Mésange noire in French! \O

In Czech it's a "Little Coaler". :-)

A very good pic of the Tannenmeise! Although I have seen one before, your pix are so much better :-0

The seven young Coal Tits fledged today, in spite of the cold and rain - when they're ready, they're ready!

One last trip to the nest box by one of the adults.

One of the fledglings being fed in the Norway Spruce near our balcony. Interestingly it is being fed what looks like ant larvae, something I never saw the adults bring to the young while they were still in the box.
