Hello every one, this if just a short backup to my last post showing a Blackbirds Nes in my Garage,
Well I have monitored them every day over the last few days, and am pleased to say that I think there has been a happy ending, however around three days ago, both my wife and I were quite concerned, as the young in the best seemed to be lifeless, no movement from them at all, I could just see some breathing movement from them, but to be quite honest thought that by morning they may have died.
However the following morning , one bird was out of the nest, and another standing up in the nest, the other two nowhere to be seen, Today both out of the nest, and I think that they are all OK,
I only managed to get a photo of one of them, and incorporated it in the Collage I have posted,
I certainly know that my photos have not been the best, but I feel privileged to have been able to photograph, the start of life, in a wild bird, and will treasure these photos
Cheers Colin
Oh just for interest, it was just 23 days from eggs in the nest, to young birds out of the nest, I find that incredible,

It is amazing isn't it? But I guess In the wild you have to grow up pretty fast to survive. :-)
