The seagull chick looked like just a small grey ball just before expanding it's wings

Good catch!

I hope it made it safely across to that other big branch.

Thank you friends!
Actually it landed on the river below and continued swimming around.
Anyway its mother was watching from some distance.

Young birds are amazing and very resilient to first-flight mistakes.
I quite like the silvery look of the feathers.
Good catch.

Thanks francois
I've seen a video where some ducklings jump from a building, move their small featherless arms like wings and land unharmed, as far as I could judge (!!!)
