The youngster that supposedly 'fledged' did not go purposely but was blown off the tray by a gust of wind whilst having a flapping session. I was told it tried to grab on to the rail but couldn't get a grip. I landed, as said on the main page, on a low roof beside the cathedral. When I left it was on the north side right at the top looking out at us all. The Tiercel was on the pinnacle above and in eyesight. Both parents were in fight as I walked away. Let's hope the youngster will be okay overnight. <br /><br />Maybe a more purposeful flight may happen tomorrow.Phoebenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-22137087235396079702009-06-09T21:45:20.234+01:002009-06-09T21:45:20.234+01:00I was about to call the English Language Police bu...I was about to call the English Language Police but then found that Andrew (Rugby) is correct :/<br /><br />Or should that be 'Andrew was correct'? :)Terry, Herts UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581540633600423284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-28180057566214058832009-06-09T21:42:28.595+01:002009-06-09T21:42:28.595+01:00I feel so anxious!
