Collared Dove with new arrival

Fantastic. I hope it all goes well for her and her little ones.

isn,t that so sweet !

thats so sweet BB, i was sad today as i found a new born near my bird station ,, think it was a baby blackbird, seems like the magpie finally got to the nest, has been trying this last week, anyway i buried the poor thing and said a little prayer,,

Aw Sanbaz......sure the prayer will be answered.................so many ups and downs in nature .........

yes there are BB, :o(( its all part of the course i suppose

It is...and sometimes so hard to take : (

i will be reaching for the tissues again soon,, boohoo

Awww dont feel bad look to the ones who do make it and rejoice !

San you are a big softie like me.........

i will BB, love to watch my birds, :o))

: ) : ) :)

Great picture, BB. So lovely to see the little ones.

Lovely picture wish this little family well!

Thanks both...all well today and lots of activity in the nest ! : )

Pleased they are OK BB - its a scarey time at the moment for the baby chicks - lets hope most of them make it.

All ok so far Dawn ! : )

Good to hear! It is a worry. Is Rocky OK?

Rocky and partner now nesting in thick ivy at bottom of the garden and getting lots of mealworms ! : )

That's great news BB. The food on tap will make all the difference won't it! I'll need to visit Wilko's next week to get more mealworms :)))) Worth every penny x

Too true Dawn...and Wilkos such good value ! : )

Got you some teasel seeds for the gold finches :)

Oh sorry Dawn....thanks so much...will pm address !

:)))

aw great photo BB

Not a lot of cover for them, is there? However, we know you'll do what you can to keep them safe, Bonkersbon. Good luck.

Thanks Eileen and Elke....just a little update...now flown the nest a week later and one has been sitting in our apple tree all day,being fed by mum.She flies off to another tree next door then so hoping all well with the other !

That's good news Jane. so nice to know they have made it. I found a dead baby blackbird this morning :-((((

Sorry to hear that Dawn,but such is life..so hard out there.: ( We just discovered today three new blackbird nests,and one pair starting all over again ! ) Had to scare off sparrowhawk this afternoon,as it tried to take a baby blackbird.Its a battlefield out there ! : (

It all about nature isnt it BB - the lows and the highs!

Yes,Dawn....: ) : ( : )

So sweet love it well caught too

Thanks Morgana amazing how they grow went from this stage to leaving the nest in a week.. no wonder they are so common .
