I'm with Sue on this Pete. I'm hoping they are all safely tucked away in the ivy somewhere waiting for meals on wings from Mum and Dad. Have you got a stock of live mealworms ready as you really will have them eating out of your hands with these mouths to feed. I had a shallow plastic tray which I loaded up with a lot and they were happy to take them when it was right next to me sitting on the ground.
One more sighting of a fledgling lurking under some bits of wood earlier this afternoon.
The parents are still around looking as if they're standing guard, and doing that slow, quiet single-note whistle reassurance noise they make.
Meanwhile, Day 18 of BT nest build faffing/fussing - still bringing in feathers and wriggling and fiddling about. It's making the robins look like high-achievers by comparison! In the time it's taken this female BT to get this far, the robins' first brood of the year is done and dusted!
