Great photos again Mick. ![]() I'm having the same problem too, but not only Sparrows, Starlings as well, and they seem to be after a lot of different herbs.........ooh! I bet their nests smell nice. I'm wondering, do you think they do it to control any pests, or am I thinking! just a bit too much.

thanks guys. paula i have half the scottish population of sparrows in my garden i think lol yes double h maybe they are shy, i am able to make out 4 eggs in one of the nests, the other is totally obscured so will need to wait till they hatch and hear the chicks. |

thanks guys. there is a bit of history between the osprey and the greylag geese. a couple of years ago the ospreys returned from africa to find a pair of the geese had taken over there nest, the ospreys won it back eventually. yesterday the female was randomly dive bombing the geese, like a wee game when she was bored lol. here she is behaving herself![]() |
