Well done [BANNED TEXT] ,garden birds need all the help we can give them

This is what the antis don't see. That left alone, the countryside isn't in balance and many of our diminishing songbirds would be very much more diminished.

 

One of the biggest problems around where I live is magpies because no one is controlling them. Put food out for certain birds, and it's not unusual to have 10 magpies in the garden within minutes. If each one is paired with a female (or is female) and each one lays at least 1 egg in a local songbird nest, then that's at least 10 songbird nests locally that are going to have no youngsters. In a small area, that's a lot of birds effectively not breeding and why we have so few songbirds left. The antis need to escape away from urban legend and animal rights propaganda and wake up to how the countryside really functions and how it's out of balance and need careful control.

 

Anyway, nice shot!

Are you talking magpies or cuckoos laying in other nests?

Cuckoo numbers are not huge and they only sabotage a nest, they don't like hunt for nests to feed their young and the magpie is very prolific compared to cuckoo's.
