Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Well I went out nesting today for the first time in over 45 years. Nothing much to report found a few pigeon nests and a couple of magpies. Tried climbing to one pigeon nest in a Douglas fir and got stuck half way up. I was sweating like a pig, fooking arms are still aching. Any ways an old photo of a nest and eggs, not mine I hasten to add. TC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,631 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Heard my first and only Cuckoo earlier and had him right in to me going bonkers. Lots of warblers, Wood x 2, Willow, Garden, Chiffchaff and just as I got back to the car, a Goldcrest! Anyone on here take part in the nest record scheme for the BTO? They're always interested in what you find and how it progresses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
