Baby birds hatched and successfully flown!!! This is a series of photos over the period of nesting to fledging. (Last photo shows a blur in a dead leafy branch into which one of the chicks flew.) Pair of Large-billed Scrubwrens began sitting on last year's nest outside our kitchen window, behind the frame of a wire pot plant wall basket in early September. 3 chicks all successfully flew 7th October. Seems very quiet outside the kitchen window now, but lots of little birds in the bushes.

These birds always seem so serious and very fussy. They are so active I find it difficult to get a good photo.
