abwsco Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 well can only assume it's them as the blackbirds nest we discovered now has no eggs in it Saw Mum off nest so sneaked a peek. The bluetit also appears to have changed it's mind about the nest box as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 We have ducklings in a sheltered spot at school (surrounded by buildings) and there were 16 - we're down to 9 thanks to the magpies! The ducklings have now had a run made to keep the rest safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 they upset my girls and our resident pair of wood pigeon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillM Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I do enjoy having all the wild birds around the garden, including the magpies... But I have been known to have to go inside when you hear them robbing chicks out of other birds nests. It is a horrible sound, even though it is only the ways of nature.
