Young Choughs

Three young Choughs fell out of a nest in a barn on the Rhinns last week when they were still incapable of flight, but were collected by the farmer and his wife and returned from whence they came with the help of a bucket and a ladder. It is thought one was injured and was not seen again, but the other two have now successfully fledged.

This photo of young Choughs was taken a couple of years ago after they had fledged from a different location on the Rhinns
