lol ,,
gona be a busy garden with youngsters in a few weeks

Hope you've got plenty of food for the broods! I'm having enough trouble keeping up with blackbirds and doves :)

ill need to stock up Gee, i did dig some worms up in the garden for the robin yesterday but the pigeons and magpies need something more than worms

Thats great news Irish

we usually have the magpies nesting here every yr Deida but 3 different birds building nests here this yr is just brilliant

We have Magpies but I hate them, they target other birds eggs and young. Look nice, though. Funny how the villains always look well .... mmm

well Vincent , sad news this morning is that the magpie has taken one of the young robins

guess thats nature tho

~that's sad Eileen~nature in the raw!

aye Arlene, Ciara saw the magpie taking it and shouted for me to do something lol. dont think she realised that i cant fly lol

sorry to hear Irish..the magpie taken one egg and a week later killed two young Doves..upsetting, but that is nature

aw the poor doves Deida, but as you say its part of nature

Sorry to to hear that Eileen....magpies unfortunately known for stealing eggs and young. What an expression on that wood pigeons face !

Last year we had a pair of doves nesting in the ceanothus. Their nest was so flimsy I was afraid that the eggs would fall through so I collected some very small twigs and left them below on the ground. Well - I don't know if the doves collected them but they sure disappeared. Several times we heard a commotion and saw the magpie flying round the area. We could see the babies when they hatched and then a couple of days later they had gone and the parents just kept coming back to the nest. I noticed the other day that they seem to have returned to the same spot to nest again. I hope the maggies leave the nest alone this time.

aw i hope so too gardenan
