I thought it maybe a good idea to start a thread for us all to share picture of birds collecting their materials to build their nests. I have spent the morning watching a female black bird take lots of material from my garden and over the fence, even saw her dip her material in my fountain...must has been because the ponds were occupied at the time with other birds!
I will kick it of with my lovely BB then....
And her raiding the larger pond...saves me getting the net out lol
Please feel free to add your pics and stories here of our lovely wildlife hard at work
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
I didn’t manage to catch the rest cause it stopped recording
but the gate started makeing noises for some reason which
distracted them so weather he flew off with it or not I
domt know but hopefully he did

Unfortunately this is not in my garden. My two bird boxes are still vacant ...

Nest building is still ongoing, for wood pigeons....
This nest in the wisteria on the walled garden wall, is still undergoing maintenance from the resident wood pigeons, collecting small twigs from a yew tree at the front of the house.
Checking the coast is clear before flying in to the nest
