No way are we coming down from here!

Three little storks, all alone, mum and dad have left the nest to encourage them to fly - hunger must be a great incentive.

To date:
  2006 - 1 chick
  2007 - 4 chicks
  2008 - nil
  2009 - 3 chicks
  2010 - 3 chicks

The parents leave when the chicks are ready to fly which is normally June / July time. They do come back and check on their progress though.

Aren't we clever?

A few days later - who's in the garden?
