Flight school. Our young storks still do not dare leave their nest for the first time, but they've advanced to hovering.

The other two siblings have to keep their heads down because there is only one helipad and its also where everybody eats their food delivery and sleeps.

At least they've soon learnt how to poop over the side. Should really move the compost heap under there for all this free phosphorus.

Meanwhile the parents are either out collecting food or perching on a nearby chimney or hay bale.

We've gotten used to the *whomp* when they take off from or land on our chimney hood at night.
