We had two Robins nesting in a little box on the garage door, two weeks after hatching they were on the ground, managed to catch one and hide it away from the cats, mother found where I'd put it and she's been feeding it in the hedge for about 3 days now, the other little beggar I can't find, but I think its behind the garage, the parents keep disapearing behind there with worms and other food.
The sparrows appear to be nest building and fighting, I've got a patch of dusty soil in the garden specially for them to take dust baths, they've had a right good time this evening, also put little dishes of water around the garden, birds get thirsty just as we do. Also got a couple of Wood Pigeons visiting for food and water.
