Not a pet but ...

Hello all.

""I am from The Netherlands, I live very close to the German border, and I
am a Lange-0-phile.""

OK, now I am properly introduced I get to the ´pet´ business

We have a pair of blackbirds that use the same nest every year again in our
back garden. Sometimes they use the nest for more then one breeding.

I always look in the nest and have seen a few little blackbirds in the past
few years but never tried to capture them with the camera.

A few weeks ago I witnessed the parents flying in building materials to
build and repair the nest, and when they stopped doing that I found 4 eggs
lying in the nest. Approx. two weeks later I noticed that mom and dad where
very busy flying in ´snacks´ into the nest ...

This is what I saw when I inspected the nest:



Cute, not?
