RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted January 18, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2021 I need to collect the car this morning. (I had arranged to leave it at the garage over the weekend.) Then I shall be required to carry out tidying and cleaning duties. After that it will be tidy up the new Robin box before giving it some form of preservative coat prior to mounting on the wall outside the kitchen window. For those that may have missed the original tale, the old box was removed last year after a Jay was seen raiding the nest and stealing the eggs/eating the chicks. The new box, cobbled together from sections of an old door, has a porch and a set back (at right angles to the entrance) nesting area. I've done my best, but I am worried that the Robin will just nest in the porch thus offering the Jay second helpings. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dave Hunt Posted January 18, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) I bought my first new car, a Mk 2 Cortina, in 1967 when I was just finishing my advanced flying training at RAF Valley in Anglesey, hence it had an EY numberplate. I then went to Chivenor in Devon for the Hunter operational conversion course and was surprised one day when I was in Barnstaple and as I was unlocking my car a chap came over and started chatting away to me in Welsh. When it became apparent that I didn't understand him he switched to English and said that the car's numberplate had led him to think that I was from North Wales. HH has just reminded me that it is time I started cleaning and fettling the bird boxes hereabouts. We had a pair of pigeons nest in the ornamental cherry tree outside the front door last year, which was quite entertaining until the chicks started cra**ing all over the path, and for the last week or so there's been a pigeon hanging around said tree. Whether it's one of last year's pair or one of the youngsters we don't know but Jill says that if it starts nest building she's going to try to deter it.

Dave If it's either feral or a wood pigeon, then you may deploy quite robust AAA, ( I still prefer the term Flak) as they are listed as pest species according to the latest general licence issued by Natural England and DeFRA. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2021 Years ago most of the pigeons here were the feral type, probably on a day out from Trafalgar Square. Now they are predominantly wood pigeons. It is quite amusing seeing them trying to hang on to the bird feeders. For many years there were a lot of magpies and they did use the bird boxes as feeders but they seem to have moved on. Rooks are doing well. Not in our garden but in some oak trees on nearby farmland. A few years ago they occupied one tree now they use three. I don’t know where they fly off to feed, certainly not in our garden. We do get crows occasionally but usually they just sit on the roof.
