Last week I discovered this beautiful little nest snuggled in our beech hedge. It rested in a crook of branches, made with a mossy base with the nest constructed on top. If you look carefully you can see some fluffy mounds at the front of the nest
I didn't want to get too close, but couldn't help myself but look inside the nest - three little chicks! I think they are blackbirds. I kept my eye on the nest over the next few days and then...
…. it was empty. All gone, fledged and flown away. What a beautiful little nest, constructed amongst other things, with some string the found in the garden.
On my dog walk I went to check how the frogspawn was doing, as I was afraid the warm weather last week had dried the puddle…….
…..but although the puddle was smaller the tadpoles were growing. Must check again this week how they are doing.
I love this time of year, there is so much going on.
