Ha Ha, :lol: as you know I have 2 adults and 4 babies not even fledged. As well as 2 newbies. :D Being a newby at this, now I am going to catch my breath. :-k

However, if you want to drive out here, no problem. I have homes for 6 babies and I've only got 4. #-o

At least three have been out (and back in) over the last 3 - 4 days. I never could see the last one out but he was tonight and perched along with all the others. He may have been out during the day when I'm at work. They all look very comfortable so I removed the nestbox as I do not want more babies until these four are sold and gone.

Hope that helps.
Liz
