1st one fledged, or should I say fell yesterday afternoon.

Second one went this morning after a little ground run... or did that one fall
as well?

View from the bottom where volunteers and passers by are watching. The box is
half way up the spire on the right hand side. It is creating a shadow under the
window. I passed by this morning. Lots of drama as one of the chicks landed on a
secondary school playing field next to the cathedral which caused a throng of
students to surround it. One of the official volunteers caught it an box and
carried it up to the lower turrets where it was safely released again.

The other two still in the nest box don't look ready to fledge just yet and
seeing their siblings attempts I wouldn't blame them for waiting a few more
days!

I guess that's me officially out of the twitchers closet then!
