pip1968 2,490 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I have a bit of permission for rabbits and the wood is next to that, its trawled to death by dog walkers but the kids round here would sooner be on the xbox than nesting or making dens. I Netted the area last year and brought the numbers right down but when i was out nesting i saw upward of 30 rabbits .. Only ever found one before jd so i hope your right . i would have found a jays by now or my mate would have, but the forestry decided earlier this year to strip all the rhodies out and let the blackberry bushes take hold.tbh i think its a good call as more small birds will benifit from it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,984 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 i can see why theyve done it as they are a bit invasive..The wood local to me has had the old rotten trees cut down..feck knows when the woodpeckers ect are going to nest this year but then again they wont have thought that through..

Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Just though of something! I will only be photographing birds that nest very low. Wrong shape and age now for this climbing stuff. TC 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 A bit of a crappy pic, I couldn't get a decent shot of the nest due to its position and i dare not disturb the bark. I have quite a few of these nesting in my home made nest site too, which are 100% squirrel proof! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
