A good sign. Do you think the nest will be in your garden?nuthatch wrote:Have just seen a Mrs Blackbird going from place to place in the garden with a huge beakful of nesting material

Re: BLACKBIRDS
The occupants of my Blackbird nest have now fledged. It/they have left the nest and taken up home in a nearby bush. The parents are still feeding them so they may have been a little early leaving the nest. No sightings thus far.

What a thrill, Jacksparrow. Good for the blackies (and for the secluded quiet of the rolling acres de le chateau grounds ).

Re: BLACKBIRDS
No sightings of the newly fledged as yet although they/it seems to have relocated by a couple of feet.

Re: BLACKBIRDS
An hour or so before dusk last night I caught a glimpse of a young Blackie in the area that the male had been heading with the food. It then disappeared with a mad fluttering of wings and I have seen nothing since. There has been no sign of feeding activity today so I'm assuming the youngster have moved on.
