I think the female started singing, then a bit later the boys joined in. I think a parent must have flown by.

One of the boys was showing off his wings.

Boy still on the nest edge.  Can't see his band.  He struggled a bit to stay on at first, but now he looks like a pro!

Had to check the playback to see what the little terror was up to ... for those who missed it, he was on the little edge that is flush up against the wall at the far end of the nestbox.  So of all the edges to get up on, that one is/was the safest!  (*whew*)

I always find at this age that its harder to see them with their mostly dark feathers and some white bits.  When there is shadow in the outside part of the box and they are all sitting there, it gets tough to tell where one ends and the next begins, like when they were very tiny.  I do a lot of double checking the count needless to say!  :o

I stepped away for a couple of minutes and missed the first ledge walk! I'm sure there will be more to come.

Looks like our young lady has decided to finish off the left overs!

Never mind - she's done.

Wow are they ever noisy when they are eating.  Just getting so grown up.  It is a little bit sad to think that soon they will be off flying around.

Thanks for the video, rcf.  Quite the size difference indeed.

Are there two smaller males and then one bigger one, almost as big as our girl? ???
