Tuesday 3rd June (part 2)

Lots more wing flapping.  Fledging gets nearer every day.

Woodie woodpecker pays another visit.  All huddle down except Scrap who still has his mind on his stomach.

Watch out chicks - he's after you!

More wing flapping.

Scrap goes for his first walkabout.  Let's hope Woodie's not around.

Watching the images, this looks as though the chicks have heard a warning from their parents.  Their response, including Scrap's is to huddle down low.  Nothing entered the nest though the pattern of sunlight flickered irregularly - something was definitely outside the nest.
