Guest Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I keep threatening to photograph birds (the FEATHERED kind) but haven't got round to it yet. I'm doing quite a few flower shots (mostly from our garden). Since I started taking astronomical photos, I've got interested in general photography, too.

stash Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I always feel sorry for parent bird's this time of year - its all go when chicks hatch - poor old Blackbird (dad mainly ) in my back garden is back and fro with food to its full grown chick - If I didn't know better I would say it was a cuckoo but I haven't heard and seen one round here for years and we had plenty years ago- Hopefully yours will be able to "put the wings up and rest" soon.

Brantuk Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 What did you put in the bird box Sheila to encourage them to nest in there? We just put one up this week but I was assuming they'd bring their own nesting materials so it's empty at the moment...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) absolutely nothing at all.... new ones (boxes) usually have to be up for a year before you get anything. all the new smells disappear. If you put anything in they will take it out and chuck it. they get all their own stuff Edited May 7, 2014 by Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Ahh that's cool - thanks Sheila. Though I ain't too chuffed having to wait for a year - but it does makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
