In the last post to this blog we reported that the eldest chick had flown the nest. We are pleased to announce that all three chicks are now airborne. The youngest chick hung on in the nest for ages, but finally went on 11 July. The chicks do reappear at the nest from time to time as the parents drop off food for them there, but this will tail off as the chicks become more self sufficient. Instead it will become easier to see kites flying around the centre as the youngsters stretch their wings.
