I picking herbs in my garden when I saw this wagtail chick take it's first flight from it's nest. He landed on the windowsil next to the bunch of keys. Eventually its mother came to his aid and they had a great reunion rubbing beaks and chirping. It reminded me of children leaving the nest at this time of the year heading into the big bad world and their parents sad goodbyes.
