Do I get a prize? I saw the first cuckoo in Belstone this year too but was very disappointed when they didn't give me a t-shirt making it offical.?

Many, many years ago I found a song thrush nest with a large pebble placed in the mud lining. It was right in the middle and I've always wondered if it was decorative or practical i.e. centre of gravity and all that jazz. Never seen it before or since.

I also found a blackbird nest which had been built around a twist of wire, anchoring it into the tree. Now I'm in no way claiming that the blackbird was clever enough to work out that the nest was stronger for it, but it does seem a bit of a coincidence.

I took this photo of a crows nest that had the main structure holding it together is fencing wire
