We've got robins nesting again.
« on: April 13, 2014, 05:17:02 PM »
Been like busy little bees these last few days taking grass, leaves and moss etc into the conifer.
It's just hopped out the conifer and was having a mo  ;D
This shot was took using max zoom on my camera from about 10 meters away.
I'm surprised it came out so clear, shots usually come out blurred on that setting because of camera shake.

Aye - We've got Blackbirds nesting just outside our kitchen window. Four eggs about a week old and apparently hatch in about a weeks time. They don't mind us milling about in the garden either. :)

Blackbirds and Robins seem to be the two most 'tame' breed of wild birds which come to our ground feeder.
They don't mind that we are sitting in the garden not too far away from them

Here's a shot of our garden from the back bedroom window.
It's 25 metre from our back door to the bottom hedge.
It also shows how lucky I was to get a shot of the robin at that distance  ;D

I managed to glimpse a Chaffinch yesterday on MIL's feeder, she also has a robin that hangs around quite often.  The most we get on our back garden are sparrow/blackbird, Though our garden is ripe with spiders, slugs etc

Got a blackbird with a couple of babies.

Had to put a temporary fence up to stop the dogs bothering then.

Not a very nice thing to say about Fly...  :))
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Actually I'm just jealous that I didn't think of it first!  :))
