Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

Fledged

A few weeks back, I noted that a blackbird was sitting on a nest that she’d built in our pony stall. She hatched four eggs, and the chicks have all grown and successfully fledged. Today, the nest was empty. She and her brood are now out in the wild. Here’s a few pictures charting their growth.

    They are very cute! I have only once found a nest with babies in it–and I wish I had taken more pictures. I took a few, but I have lost them!

      Thanks, it’s the converted farmhouse where we are lucky enough to live.
