MARCH 2009 - Blackbird nesting!


One of the female Blackbirds has built a nest close to the back door. She laid 3 eggs on Friday 6th and by Saturday 7th, had laid 4 eggs. With all the coming and going, she doesn't seem perturbed at all. It's as if she believes that it will be safer near the back door.

Two Coal Tits had paired up as had two Blue Tits that visit the garden. Two of the three Robins seem to have vanished. Maybe they have paired-off to nest. The third still visits the kitchen but not on a regular basis.
The Longtailed Tit has paid another visit, again to the small bush near the back door, quite near to where the Blackbird has nested.
