Hi Folks
Just when I thought I wasn't going to
have any nesting birds in the garden,
I noticed a flurry of feeding activity
from the Bluetits, Hooray :t:
And a couple of days later I came home
to see a Magpie collecting mud from the
pond then taking it to a nearby Sycamore
and sure enough there's a nest under construction :t:
Later that afternoon, we sat sipping G&Ts on the
garden swing, and this normally nervous bird came within
10ft of us and continued his work!
It was fascinating to see it so close
I know Magpies get a lot of bad press for
their thuggish behaviour, but I rather like them
and I'm glad to have two nests to watch from my window!
Cheers
