|
| The 7 chicks' as at the 14th June |
|
| Lots of stretching, flapping and preening |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| We thought they would start to leave by
Friday the 19th June, but the weather for that two day's was very wet and
windy |
|
| Sunday the 20th June at 12.04 and the
first chick takes flight, we did not catch the preamble to this
unfortunately |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| The 2nd chick to think about leaving, was
just after 12.30 |
|
|
It didn't take long, and out it popped, into a
lovely sunny day |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| Just under 14 minutes later and number 3
showed some interest |
|
| It did not linger long and shot out like it
had done this sort of thing all before. However there does seem to
be something amiss with one of its feet, a sort of club foot |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| 6 minutes later and number four shows an
interest |
|
| The first four have not hung about long, up
to the entrance and off they go, this one at 12.51 |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| The final three are a bit different, over an
hour and a half passes before this one plucks up the courage |
|
| And without any hesitation of it goes |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| The weather changed, later that day, with
the wind and rain picking up again. The final two stayed until the next
day a very wise decision |
|
| This the six and penultimate chick, this
little bird left at 7.35 the following morning |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| This leaves one chick, much underdeveloped,
compared to its siblings, and not really ready to take to the wing |
|
| Both parent birds continued to feed the
chick, and kept the nest clean for it |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| Almost an hour and a half passes before it
to plucks up the courage to have a go |
|
| At 8.27 off it went and flew rather well
considering. Please select forward to
