Fledging Day getting close ...

I had half an idea that they would be gone this morning, ... But no, all three made it through the night and are safely huddled together awaiting their next meal !

There are lots of signs now that fledging day is close, Glo & Gus are trying to feed the chicks from the hole, but only 'Get me out Graham', seems to vaguely interested. After the adults have been in, he is the most curious at seeing what lies outside ... Also the preening and wing flapping continues, and the adults calling from outside is becoming more frequent ..



Here we can see the trio waiting for Glo to bring in their supper :



However, having fed them, had a quick look around and tucked them in, she left !! Leaving them to spend the night all alone, another sure sign that leaving day is imminent ...

So, let's see what tomorrow brings ...
