Ok , ok, I admit, it is the springwatch star that inspired me to draw this! watching the webcam, it was such a picture-perfect scene, I couldn't help myself!
Watched the female Blackbird collecting bits and bobs out the kitchen window. Round and around, using at least five different landing spots before entering the nest in the hedge. So happy to have seen this before the new growth completely hides it. She's not decided which way is more comfortable. (I know the feeling) Swipe >for pic 2. Record shots

No birds or nests were hurt or disturbed while taking this shot - not so for the overdone sausages in the oven. 😊
Is this a juvenile long tailed tit ? Sorry.....I love nature but I'm no always so good at identifying......If so...in October??
After many attempts at trying to get one of these, i finally managed a half decent photo. They just don't stand still for a second.
#100daysofnature - Day 92 - it amazes me how quickly these spring up after the rain we have had...it wasn't there the day before yesterday
Not as tasty as peking duck :p.
If what I have read is right, there are less that 7000 nesting pairs of these birds in the UK, and we're proud to have one of of those pairs :). They are incredibly timid though, and won't join the others when we put duck food out for the rest of the local residents.
There's a new blog over on my website, with a bit of a spring update.
