I have blackbirds that nest yearly, and here is a nest. I was reading they don't like returning to an old nest so I've gone round and removed the old ones. This one was pretty amazing.... Moulded together with mud! I've kept it, I don't want to bin it but not sure what to do with it, it's like a little piece of art!! Any suggestions other than putting back in a tree to admire?  |

I have black birds nesting too and sparrows and Jenny Wren. Very busy in our garden at the moment.

It's lovely when they nest in our gardens isn't it? We get blue tits too, always use the same nest box every year, and goldfinches. Would love a Robin.... They are always about but never nested in mine yet.

Yes clt80 it is a piece of art! If I had it, I'd hold onto it and when the craft stores open again I might add some flowers or birds and hang in up outside in a sitting area. |

You never know clt80, a robin or another little bird might take up residence once you have made it look pretty with some flowers!!  |

That's beautiful. It's amazing what they can make with their beaks.

Birds are so resourceful, it's amazing. I wonder how long it took to make. Does the male blackbird make it all or do they do it together?

The other ones they made crumbled to bits, but this one is solid. Probably built with wet twigs that were coated in mud from all the storms we had at the time. It's set like stone. |
