Black Birds

These photos were taken June 2020. I had the fortunate discovery of a black bird's nest behind our conservatory. It meant I could view them without disturbance to the nest. We have three cats and so we kept them indoors until they fledged which was not easy and, as silly as I am sure it sounds to some, I believe the blackbirds really did know what was going on and appreciated the help. They all made it with one straggler leaving the nest a day after the others. I still think they come and visit from time to time just to let me know that it was all worth it.
