I watched the adults try everything to get this youngster out of the nest
They tried not feeding it for a good hour or more and then sitting in 2 separate trees calling = no go !
Then the final trick the male teased food out of reach and went round the tree with it = Success
Normally they just fly out of nest and you never see them again, but luckily this one left the nest rather awkwardly and paused for a second before it was off
