But this is the view that greeted me yesterday:
An empty nest where the original one was, and a moorhen in another tyre further along the side of the barge:
I can only imagine that something happened with the first nest/clutch, and they're having to start all over again...
We'll see how it goes :)
On a different front, our local Jays have successfully fledged at least 1, maybe 2 young, probably this morning. It was quite funny watching them trying to negotiate the TV aerials ;) While drinking my morning coffee on the sofa I could see Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay & Blackbird vying for space on an aerial (where did they go before TV?!). Good way to start the day!
And I was excited by a large flock of Starlings on my local TV arials :-(
ReplyDelete;) I'd probably be excited too, except they prefer coming to my balcony and squabble loudly...
