Good news JS, hopefully the start of a good winter season.

A pair of Blackbirds have decided to make a home in the ivy on the wall in my front garden.
It is about 6 foot above the ground but I fear in the future it could be targeted by the Jackdaws which inhabit my locality. Time will tell but I give the chances of any hatchlings at being no better then 50/50.

Always nice to have a nest and see the birds going back and forth Jack.

Hope it turns out well JS.

Fingers crossed Jack

Oh exciting times JS, please keep us updated

fingers crossed JS. It's usually magpies that nest raid in my garden

I've got them too but they're not as busy as the Jackdaws.

Will do. I think egg laying has commenced.

I think there are now hatchlings. Mum and Dad have started visiting the nest frequently especially in the morning.
