Today Easter Sunday we cut down 7 of our out of control Leylandi. On the floor we found a birds nest with 2 blue eggs. We still have some trees were we could place the nest but will the mother find it. What can I do for the best.

Hello Tiachibird,
As you probably now realise, March-August isn't the best time to undertake such tasks. The chances of the adults returning to this nest are, unfortunately, very slim. Left unattended, eggs become chilled and die very quickly. However, if you wish to try and save it, try and put the nest at a safe height, in dense cover as close to its original location as possible.
