Leaving home...

Speaking of young 'uns ...
Every year, we have a pair of Blackbirds come to nest in our Honeysuckle. This year, despite all the odds -- torrential rain, and wind, which blew the Honeysuckle over so far that the nest was sitting at a 45 degree angle for the last couple of weeks -- they managed to raise a brood of four.

Today it was time for the last of them to leave the safety of the nest... Here he/she is, sat in the relative safety of our hedge, saying: "If I keep really still and don't even blink, you can't see me...".
