26th March 2015 - Nest Building

I was so pleased to see this female blackbird gathering bits and pieces this morning and obviously getting ready for her nest building. She is standing in one of last years hanging baskets and she is picking out the rush liner. There is lots more left in the basket so hopefully she will come back.

Looks best against black if you have time!!

Many thanks for yesterdays comments and Favs on my Iphone shot at the country park. I was thrilled to see it on PP this morning - so pleased you liked it!!
