Noooooo  

 

Oh no Sweet

 

It's not a good weekend for birds ... one of the pigeons nesting in my next door neighbour's tree got ripped to shreds by a bird of prey (we think) yesterday.

 

The other one has now left the nest

Sad news.

The pair of collared doves that like to pick up the spills from our bird feeders are still mooching around.

Bet it was magpies who got your doves' eggs, Summer. Beautiful, intelligent birds, but a handful of trouble too...

That's sad, Summer.

Oh noes sounds like the maggies got them    

 

to be honest if they hadn't have got the eggs they certainly would have got the chicks as soon as they started chirping 

We were gutted when we made the discovery I guess it wasn't meant to be We do have a pair of jackdaws that pop in so I wondered if they might be the culprits

..Thats nature tho Sweet.......Long live nature....

Oh no Sweet

 

I have to say when I first saw your photo I thought the eggs might have been in danger - very exposed.

 

Sad threads about featheries and furries today.

Thieving magpies.

 

Hold on that's given me some inspiration - I'll write a book.

Sorry about your doves Sweet
