It must be spring by rosiekind

It must be spring

It doesn't feel like spring as the top temperature today has been 2 degrees! However, this little bird obviously thought it was time to build a nest. I saw a couple of sparrows with whispy bits in their beaks obviously taking them to a nest. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend
very cute and a fav Rosie

Awwww - they are definitely getting frisky - must be based on day length because it's definitely not temperature!

How sweet. I must remember to put out a feeder full of horse hair and sheeps wool. Lovely capture.

My birds seem to be starting to nest as well. Maybe Spring will be here sooner rather than later. :)

@gerry @judithg @streetlyend @mej2011 Thanks for your kind comments and I must have a look for some nesting material to put out for them. Horse hair and sheeps wool would be lovely but I don't have any of those!

@rosiekind I know this may sound daft Rosie how about some cotton wool i dont know if that would be a nesting material for them its only a thought.

@gerry Yes Gerry I put cotton wool out for them last year and also hair from my hairbrush. My hair is not as coarse as horses hair but It would make nice soft nesting material!

@rosiekind or maybe straw from a pet store ? then you would have most of it for them all year round for when they nest again

A lot of times we leave hair from our Pomeranian. Maybe somebody could contribute some other type of animal hair?

What a sweet capture. I put out some of Betty's hair recently after she'd ben to be trimmed.

I think he's going to have a lovely cosy nest! I saw a pigeon actually pulling bits off the wisteria in our garden today.

Such optimism! Getting the house ready in anticipation of the flutter of little wings.
