Fledgling

This afternoon, the terrace finally fell silent. Not a single flapping wing in sight. The song thrushes have finally fledged their nest. This picture is not of the moment, rather one of the committed duo doing their best to protect and nourish their little chicks. Fitting I thought, what with our little ones about to do just that! The terrace won’t seen the same. But the lesson I learnt from this loving, mated pair, is that perseverance pays dividends.

That’s all I have to say tonight!
