Nesting birds at work

A pair of Blue tits having successfully raised a brood and all have fledged from a nest in an outside cigarette butt bin. Swallows have again nested in the garage/workshop ( this time on a ledge of plywood I screwed to a crossbeam ), another pair are investigating the ladies toilet through an open window and a pair of pied wagtails have a clutch inside the gubbins of a contractors dumper truck! ( a sign is up to stop it being used). Also House sparrows are nesting all over the place, at least 20 pairs.

  1. Well done for helping them. Lots of nesting records there. I’ve got house sparrows and starlings in my roof. The latter are noisy and messy and, along with their friends from nearby, can eat a couple of feeders full a day.

      Hi Paul. The youngsters in the last Swallows nest have finally flown. At least 5 have fledged and It’s great to see them flying and twittering away with their parents. They still swoop in through the open door, missing me by inches, so I guess I’ll be cleaning up after them for a while yet 🙂
