Nearly New Home For Sale

that is a lovely little residence. Do you know what lived there?

Its survived the winter very well considering all the high winds we've had. I love the way the linings are so soft, just right for new babies...

Isn't it amazing how neat and tidy they look, I haven't got any in the ivy this year but think I will have in the conifers, what always amuses me is the fact that they build right next to a pouch I placed there in the hopes something would use it, obviously not good enough....

is it small enough for a wren?

I found it lying on the ground beside the blue conifers in the foliage garden this afternoon. It might have got blown off in the winds last week.
I replaced it among the foliage at the back of one of the trees, so it is now sheltered and out of the sun.

Incredible structures when you only have a beak! We'd struggle for such perfection with a pair of hands!

Don't wrens make SBG domed nests SBG?

Hi,
It always fascinates me to see these works of art. Nature is a beautiful thing. I've just put up a bird house and hope I get a tiny tenant soon.

Update: I think this nest is now occupied, although I haven't been for a closer look.

2016 update: a pair of robins are definitely nesting in my blue conifers this year. I could hear the youngsters when I weeded behind the trees last week, and one of the parents flew into the trees when it thought no-one was watching.
