In the heart of winter it is sometimes possible to discover signs of the long gone summer in the form of otherwise hidden nests deep in the now dying vegetation. Nests of songbirds and even Harvest Mice are now easier to find and with a bit of thought it is possoble to identify the previous owner. Mark Hart found this delightful Reed Warbler nest woven unusually into the stems of a thistle and it is still intact despite the amazingly windy season that we had so far.
