We have a greenhouse which has suffered storm damage and needs repari fairly soon. So where do you think the thrush has laid her eggs? Yes, naturally she got into the greenhouse and put the nest on one of the wooden joints, so no matter what we do in our repair works we will dislodge the nest.
As it is we can't do any work anywhere near it or she flies away and let the eggs go cold. She sits on a branch opposite wittering at us, but she is so pretty and her song is lovely.
How long do these ruddy eggs take to hatch and the fledglings to fly?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs Thrush was on the nest today when we arrived to do some pottering about the plot. Though she was at head height she had her back to the pane of glass in the shed, so we were inches from her but she remained there.
We tried not to disturb her and, though she seemed asleep at first, by the time we left she was definately awake, but she couldn't see us from the nest whilst we were at the shed end of the plot.
She was still sitting on the nest when we left. Oh I do hope she can hatch her precious clutch!
