Empty Nest


The blackbird nest is now empty - breakfast time this morning there was just one chick left. And when I looked out just now he seems to have made a bid for freedom. He (or she?) has not got far - still in the porch, underneath the nest. Maybe he hasn't quite got the hang of flying (and he doesn't look very aerodynamic). I hope the parents know where he is and guide him to somewhere safer. It's a tough world out there. There's a ginger cat that hangs about and a handsome, but threatening, magpie staking out the bird feeders.
