BE flies from the nest

(this picture makes me think - i could do this! it seems so simple - just stretch right out and jump )

Yes, that's what I saw

Sunrise was the coldest at -18C. Weather forecast is "optimistic". At least -25C next week, but I don't believe it

Thanks Triin .... * optimistic * is good

Please make no self-attempt .... I fear we humans have not the right "outfit" for an experiment like this

Despite there were already attemps, even long ago ..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus

Thank you, Laranjeiras, Sova, Ice Age and all for the really gorgeous pictures and your reports!
I am grateful for the possibility, to read about all what had happened after my work.
It‘s a great joy to watch this couple building a beautiful looking nest. The cam view is marvellous.
