This is a first brood but a couple of weeks behind two other nests in adjacent stables, whose broods have already fledged.

There are three nest sites in the stables and this brood ventured out onto the telephone lines on Stratford Road early this afternoon. There was a lot of calling heard as two adults swooped around and appeared to be feeding their youngsters. After a while the brood was left alone for a few minutes before the adults returned to just make a brief beak to beak contact as if to say "Follow me!" And they did.
