Heidelberg: first fledge

One of the Heidelberg juveniles fledged, but not without troubles. Mr Hans Martin Gäng writes in his diary about Jurgen. He did fledge but could not fly up. Juveniles very rarely can. He landed on the rooftop of a building nearby. He started wailing but Aurora just acted as if she did not hear him calling. It was a warm day in Heidelberg and it got 27 C on a hot roof and he did not like it. He got company of two pigeons who loooked at him in a way of what's this guys, what a strange bird. But when Aurora came flying around the corner the disappeared very fast in all directions. Mr Gäng saw him late in the afternoon fly away to a nearby building. I'm sure the story will continue. Gerd is still in the nestbox.
