Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 The blackbirds nest that I posted on 17th April is on its second batch. I didn't notice until today, when I saw the male bird going in and out of the nest site. Got the steps out to have a look and the second brood have hatched. Also while I had the steps out I checked a bird box in a nearby silver birch and was surprised to find that it's also in use. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,534 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Not much chance of these hatching and fledging, 2 foot off the ground by the side of the track in a very open tree bottom Cheers, D 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
