This made me laugh out loud. I was watching a young Chiffchaff hunting for insects along a fence and around a signboard.

Being young and not wary yet of humans, the cute wee bird mostly ignored me so I was able to edge closer for some photos.

Then it spotted a spider’s web chock full of tiny creatures, a pix-and-mix for a hungry fledgling.

But it hadn’t twigged to the fact that a wire fence can be slippery and went for a backwards spin as it tried to pluck out the tasty morsels.
