Leaving the nest

The old house opposite the allyway of my flat this is used as a wharehouse fot the furniture painters. the building was left to 2 brothers who both do the same thing strange but we are in Egypt no rhyme or reason ? this building apart from being used as a wharehouse and paint shop is realy being let to rot and decay, like a lot of the buildings here in egypt as long as its up its ok if it falls down they build another, and its a shame to see these pre 1900s houses in such bad repair,
but its a great place for our wildlife birds, grecos, lizards and rats who's Eyes I can see while taking flash photos of the grecos who run all over its walls. below the balcony there is a door arch where we are going to see the fledgeling sparrow leave the nest








































































Ok now I am out what happens next as it takes its first dive into thin air













well done " as the male sparrow keeps an eye on the proceedings
