BLACKBIRDS

[Placido]

Oh, what a shame, Greenfinch . So sad.

A lady showed me this in her back garden. I called in to talk about hedgehogs, as she feeds them.



She has a highland terrier that keeps the cats away.

I can't work out the differing angles of the wood, Willpar. Is it fencing or maybe a shed ??
Anyway, the blackbird looks very snug, secure and happy .

So sorry, greenfinch damn cat

Very exciting, Willpar - wonder if the parents visit your garden

My poor Blackbird was scared off the nest by a black cat ,I peeped in to day and she is gone the 4 eggs are cold .

Sad news Hopefully they will have another go at a less vulnerable site.

Thank you ,I am disappointed

Hi Placi, it is one of those structures some people have in their garden. Has an apex roof, two sides and a back. No front and has a garden seat in it. Blackbird nest is in the roof. I think there is a plank missing and that is where the blackbird managed to build it nest in.

[Placido]

Oh, I see .
I couldn't make sense of the wood angles . Good for the blackbird - make use of any advantage .

Arbour Seat like a large nest box
