Thanks, Neli, it was a lot of fun checking in on them every day. Two days ago this is what I saw.

One egg that didn't hatch.

When I approached the nest that day,

this little fellow left the nest on its first flight.

Sort:  

Oh dear, these chicks grow like mushrooms.
So often they fell from the nests. But parents take care, don't they?
Just now I am watching three seagull babies on the rooftop. And since my eyes are very bad, I use binoculars. Guess what neighbours might think.🤣

I was wondering if once the fledglings leave the nest if the parents still care for them. The one that I put in this post took off into the woods shortly after taking its picture. Hopefully, the parents will be able to find it.

I hear you with the binoculars, I've got a pair of them right where I sit on the front porch, but at least I have no neighbors who may think I'm watching them. 😁
