Practicing for independent life, vol.2

This years nestling has left the nest and for the second day is praciticing the first steps of independancy and this is how its first attempt to climb a tree ended today. Old birch stump was left unconquered. Suddenly it just released the talons and fell back to the ground from the height of about 4 meters. I am pretty sure that by tomorrow it has mastered the art of climbing trees.
