"Our Baby Thrushes have fledged"

I last blipped these babies on Monday evening and at 8 o'clock this morning they were sitting on the edge of the nest (see photo on left). When I next went into the garden about 11 o'clock I found 2 sheltering in the border of our garden with mother nearby as I believe they still feed them on the ground until they take flight. I think the larger of the 3 has flown into a nearby tree. We have no cats around here and Bracken has been banned from the bottom half of the garden until the other 2 hopefully take flight into the big wide world. What a pleasure it has been following them from hatching on Friday 13 July until leaving the nest today!
Unfortunately the 4th egg never did hatch!
