Ornithology and Gardening
Hi all
Just looking to get trees pruned and a fence put up so decided to take the bird box down first. The hole has been over enlarged so we haven't had any visitors there for a while. Climbed the ladder and peared in to see a tit of some variety staring back!!! Somehow they've snook in without me noticing and started nesting - I do keep a reasonable eye on the bird life, so I'm suprised they've managed to build a nest without me noticing. Now to the questions: 1 Will it scare off the bird if the tree, a silver birch, is seriously pruned (probably need chain saws!) 2 How long will it take for the eggs to hatch and the babies to flee the nest if I decide to wait? 3 Is it likely I will have scared it off anyway having put a ladder up directly below the box and peered in? TIA Phil |
