And the Fantail story continues, Part II

Just when I was wondering whether both parent birds would appear together, the opportunity unfolded.

And then the other one left to hunt for food.  A growing bird is always a demanding one and this parent too left eventually.

And then one parent returned but without food. Nevertheless a parent's presence always has a calming effect.

... until the other parent returned with food.

 Looked like until the young could fledge, moments like these would be a plenty.

And the parents going to and forth with feeding.

Moments when all was relatively quiet ....

... and the young one calmer, nevertheless always hungry

A brief respite for this parent.

And do not under-estimate this feisty 'cili padi' of a bird as it showed its aggressiveness when it spotted me, flying threateningly just inches away, and then shockingly right up and on to a small dog that passed by on leash.

By the time, I returned to this family days later, the juvenile was ready to fledge ... so on to the last instalment and posting.
