I have a large rhodedendrum bush in a pot in the backyard, a blackbird has built a nest in it and appears to be sitting in it. We are worried about scaring it off the nest, is there anything we can do to help as with general comings and goings noise wise worried it may abandon.
Hi Jac and welcome to the forum ... I imagine that the Blackbird must have felt comfortable enough with your comings and goings to have chosen to have built it's nest in that bush, maybe you can just keep your movements to a minimum and keep as quiet as possible and as far away from the nest as you can until any young have fledged ... some info here
