............... well, not quite - but here's some photos of one of the blue tit chicks that fledged the nest today (a nesting box on the back of our garage). The chick was so tame it came over to me, and had no hesitation getting up onto my hand.
The last three photos were taken from inside, through a double glazed window, so I apologise for the poor quality. The chick was near the pond, calling out for their mother. The last pic is of "mum" supplying a small mouthful for him (or her).
Obviously we're keeping Star & Sugar on their leads for the next day or two, to give the young birds the best opportunity for survival.
Here's to fledglings everywhere - good luck!
