One fledged C/Crow at Portlethen today being fed by it's parents at my work. Slightly early, but well done to the parents for the brancher surviving the snow over the last few weeks.

Hi Malky, did it have a ring on? If not why not?

Birds building nests/checking out nest sites all over the place. Think I've seen fledgling blackbirds, not definitely though.

Well, you have managed to get it going. Stuart Reeves will probably be in touch.
And, no, it wisnae rung.
