I came home another day and saw small bird flying out of my postbox. When I opened the box I recognized that they started to build the nest there. Before I did think that some kids making jokes and put stuff in the box. IMG_20180421_174022 (Large).jpgIMG_20180421_174034 (Large).jpg

:wub: That's wonderful, what will you do? can you leave it and take post another way or do you need to remove the nest.

I removed the nest. Happily there were no eggs yet.

Another new one for me.A Jackdaw it has been turning up for a few days now at about 6 pm.
Too fast to get with the camera.I set a Ipcam up to get it.It is taking a beak full so I would think that it has young.

Some like it hot, over 42C when taken, but shade and water is all they need to survive
