The goldfinch fledglings have left their nest - we caught them just as they flew off. You can see them perched on branches just to the side of the nest, looking a bit bemused. Just as the photo was taken they flew off, at some alarming angles, skimming the ground and up and down, then they seemed to get the hang of it without any accidents. Apparently the nest in the cafe is a pied wagtail, and way up on a metal beam in the open barn there is a pigeon nest - if you can call it that as its just a very loose pile of sticks. They were in the same spot last year and the eggs fell out, splat. Bean plants that were doing really well are disappearing - we planted 24 good sized plants and now there are 19! Definately those pesky rabbits so I am going to put up a keep out sign.
