From hatching how long before wagtails leave the nest?

we have one in one of our farm impliments and didnt want to disturb them.
Answers:
"Incubation takes 11-14 days, the young leave the nest after another 10-13 days, and they fly for the first time about 17 days after hatching."
38days but will hang around
Once they hatch the chicks stay in the nest for around 20 days.Could be a couple of days less or more than this as how soon they fledge depends on how many insects their parents can find for them.
