It is now shortly after 8 o'clock, and I have only been able to see 7 chicks so far in Box2.  If one has fledged, and they all look as though they could go soon, it either went very late last night, or more probably, first thing this morning. 

Again, only 7 chicks visible here. 

Another shot of just the 7 chicks. 

Seven chicks again - this time with a parent.  I think it is Ben.

This time both parents are present.

Seven chicks and no parent.

I think it is quite clear that one of the chicks has fledged.  I only hope Ben and Bella are spending some of their time ensuring it is OK!
