George and Mildred are only one of about four pairs of blackbirds that are nesting here at the moment. It does make life a little difficult as large tracts of the garden are now out of bounds, and I have to keep a close eye on the dog!! On the other hand, I'm exempt from any hedge cutting at the moment .... ;) We have set the garden out to suit wildlife, and have a great collection this year.

However, the parents are so quick on their feed-flights that I don't get a chance. I can't get close enough to the nest to take a photo without disturbing things. Maybe when the fledgling starts coming out to enjoy the sun? I just wish I could get some photos. However, the parents are so quick on their feed-flights that I don’t get a chance.
