Iora in training

An uneventful and quiet afternoon was broken when a female Common Iora flitted about, with her juvenile in tow, calling noisily after her.

Looking like she had just started out, the juvenile took to more stops than movements, and calling out incessantly.

Whilst attempting to keep up with her parent, she warmed the heart even as she was clumsy.

Finally, would her efforts be rewarded?

Nope, as her parent moved away, teased with another grub, and moved away again.  And the training continued as her parent lured her off and away.
