The Potting Shed

Have built a nest right outside my bedroom window! It's a treat watching the nest grow, seeing the wee birds flitting back and forwards. My presence doesn't seem to bother them, I'm looking forward to seeing the chicks, photos to follow! Very Happy

Oooh Kathy - your very own Springwatch Laughing

You're so lucky - we were watching some the other day that are nesting in the middle of town! It's amazing how un-bothered they are by us. Looking forward to some pictures Very Happy

I've found another one, outside the front door and there's an old nesting box over the back that has some kind of tit in it, need to find my glasses to see it though!

The chicks are now poking their heads out of the nest. I can't get photos as the angle is too difficult, the glare on the window and also, the window is covered (and I mean covered) in bird poo! I'll see if the zoom on sons camera is good enough to take one from the ground.
