Robins Fledged

We returned from a weekend away to find the robin nest was empty! This surprised us as the chicks looked nowhere near ready to fly yet. However I discovered they were still in the garage this morning, flitting around all over the place barely able to fly at all with their stumpy little wings. It made getting the car out safely a bit of a challenge. So the car is going to be kept in the street in the meantime. I've since found out that robins typically fledge before they seem ready.

I managed to get pictures of a couple of them. One perched on a piece of board leaning against the wall.



Another one was hiding up in the rafters.
