Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Dunno what a 'Sole Pad' is. But, two foot of cover is absolutely spot on for a Dunnock. And as for Boots and his Redstart ....?! I'm absolutely tearing at my own skin with the lust to ring those! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Well pete, i thought it was a bullfinch at first mate tbh from a distance...as there are some around here, but on closer inspection i saw what i thought was the cockbird carrying a faecal sack, but got the bino's out and saw it was a white brow stripe, migrate to africa apparently pete.so my book tells me, never had one nest here before, i have nest boxes all over the garden but never seen one of them mate.

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 What sort of box is she using, Boots? I've had a lad enquiring about the best sort for them. I didn't have a clue. Not something we ever see around here. I'm taking a wild stab that you're in Wales? Oh god. How I envy you Redstarts! And nesting in your box? F**k! I'll have to console myself with the hope that our Wheatears will return this year. God, to get amongst Them! Can you imagine; Holding a male Wheatear in ye hand???? Trouser trouble!
