TOMO 28,301 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Years ago I used to work fir an engineering company...we used to stock pile big chunks of steel in the yard and every year pied wagtails would nest in the steel....one year they nested next door on the steps going up in to a big truck...literally just on the step in plain view...the truck was stood for a week or two....then one day it had to go out...so the nest was moved ...then when the truck came back they put the nest back on the truck...the birds didn't seem to bat an eyelid....everyone was looking out for them to be honest ...and keeping the local cats away... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finally feels like the long dark winter is behind now. The change from winter weather to brighter skies seemed really quick,almost abrupt this year. Thank Christ we've broken the back of winter. I feel ten times more bright and optimistic. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
