A pair of blackbirds abandoned their nest in my garden during this

them in the garden.) Should I remove the eggs?


Leave it alone and see what happens. I don't know what blackbirds habits
are but our Call Ducks lay their eggs and don't sit on them for some time
afterwards. But I would suggest that in dealing with nature, a general
rule is 'if in doubt, do nothing'.

We have had a bird box in the garden for a couple of years and this year I
was pleased to see a couple of blue tits had taken up residence, but they
haven't been around for a couple of weeks now.
