Bird (feathered variety) expert(s) wanted.

The resident Blackbird singing all day right up to dusk, even had the dog looking up into the Oak tree.

Squirrels already destroyed the Bkackbirds nest and the Blue Tits did not time their hatch right to coincide with the green caterpilar hatch so that brood failed.

Around here the Sparrow hawks take the Ring neck doves and from what i see only eat the brain and a bit of the breast. One often sits on the fence as if digesting a meal. Always alert though. There is a large area of wild wood to my South side where they seem to stay but as yet never seen a nest.

The nest box has been used this year by Blue Tits and they tolerated my presence. I spent an early morning trying to photograph them. One would approach the box from the end of a gutter four feet away. It stop that after almost being had by a Crow. Five days ago, while setting up silver soldering equipment (which is done outside), there were two fledglings who very rapidly disappeared into the bushes.

Is it any of these noisy bird taken from my workshop door can't even hear myself think as well as the fact I can hear them over some of my machines.

One of this years fledgling blueys, just for JA! This window is about a metre from their nest box so a very handy spot to contemplate it's first proper flight to the nearby tree…
