We have lift-off!

Mrs Robin has suucessfully raised two chicks up to fledgling age. The chicks
went this morning. Two chicks to fledgling size from three eggs, laid in a
nest in open view at my waist height is not bad going.

At least now I can mow the lawn. And the felines will be pleased I'm not
following them around suspiciously everytime they go out into the garden ;-)

Yay! Well done Mr and Mrs Robin!

I'm very glad to hear it. Sadly, last week Baggy caught a fledgling Robin.

I now have the American version of a robin hopping around my yard,
and it really needs mowing (the yard of course). I sure hope it
learns to fly soon for that reason, and before a preditor gets it.
Yesterday during a rough storm it must have blown out of its nest.
It isn't old enough to fly yet, though it sure keeps trying! I was
happy to see today that it's still out there, though I don't know
where it went tonight. My yard is fenced in, but I could tell
where the baby was by where the parents were. I wonder if one of
the parents stayed with it last night? I didn't think it would make
it through the night being on the ground, though it was a hot
night.

Excellent news :)
