Oh I hope they wait until you are there, but as you say it is usually sodβs law! How about blocking up the exit just for tomorrow, put some mealworms in with them - they should be ok. I AM JOKING of course. . Really really hoping you are there to wave them off. Sue ps they are looking soooooo good.

They are still there even after we left them for about 2 hours and I resisted blocking the hole Sue I left my old camcorder set up on a tripod aimed at the box just in case. Of course the battery had run out when I got back but nothing was missed

7 have fledged over the last hour or so and so that just leaves the two smaller ones. I did see one first flight and he went straight up into a hazel tree with precision flying.

This one was home alone for a while and then with one last look over his shoulder he took the plunge. We had just made it back to see him go. He didn't fly far but managed a successful landing in a nearby privet. So that is it for another season. The sparrows teased us again but have just left a partial nest. I'll have yo turn my attention and cameras onto the hedgehog if he shows up again. I'll be keeping an eye on ongoing nests on here to ease the empty nest syndrome. Good luck to all the newly fledged. Good luck to all you lovely people too
