Wing Feathers....

The baby Blackbirds are really progressing well, and now we have wing feathers developing!

They even flinch at the sound of my shutter, so it was a very quick in and out today. Luckily Mum and Dad were off the nest in the garden.

I guess in another 10 days or so they will be flying the nest themesleves.
