LAMPER 0 Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 while mouching with the pup this afternoon i managed to come across 3 chaffys nests. All the 3 nests were no more than 100ft from each other,which i found quite facinating. Id always imagined the Chaffy to be a territorial little bird who could maybe be quite aggressive. The first was placed in a small Holly bush and contained 3 eggs....... The second was in some gorse and was a fabulous little structure,just like their nest always are. It held 4 eggs. The third was in some brambles and just as well made as the other 2 nests. Inside was just a single Egg....... I also came across this Blackbirds nest. Nothing speacial i know!...but this was pratically on the Floor. Ive found them before in strange places but never this close to the ground. Lamps... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borderterrier 0 Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Nice photos Lamper. We get about 20-25 Chaffinches come in the garden every day and seem to spend the whole time fighting. As for nests in unusual places, the Swallows generally nest in the out buildings, last year one nested on top of an upturned broom, which kept the kids amused, but they don't half leave some mess behind. :sick: sh1t everywhere.
