I think i need better specs.
« on: December 04, 2007, 19:07:23 »
I took my bean canes down today, it was only when i put them in the tool shed that i noticed a birds nest on top of  one of the rolls of old carpet i keep for making paths. I must have been in and out of that shed hundreds of times in the Summer and did not see it, think i need stronger glasses. :-[ But in my defence it was well camouflaged  ::),they had made it out of bits of carpet......well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!. :P

That has been a great nest for the blackie or the robin??  How would she get in and out of your shed though, is your door left open all day?    ;) ;)

I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

The builder of the shed(donkey's years ago)put in ventilation holes. To small for a Blackbird

It's amazing how  they lined the nest with fibres of the same colour as the twigs and moss. :o

Its quite amazing, us humans have to go to college to learn engineering and building.....but its so natural for our little feathered friends.
