House Building

A year and a day ago I blipped Mrs Blackbird doing precisely the same thing, so they obviously keep a diary.  Dad Blackbird vanished into the bush that they tried and abandoned last year.  I realised why they might have abandoned it when a young magpie took a headfirst dive into the bush.  What the magpie's parents obviously failed to tell him was that nest construction sites don't contain eggs - yet.  But no doubt he'll keep trying.  What's annoying is that someone is coming to cut back my bushes next weekend, and if ever a bush needed trimming it's that one.  But obviously it can't be cut back if it's being turned into a nursery.

I wish I didn't always do my lawn blips when the grass desperately needs cutting!
