Similarly when we ring the chicks, the parents are back with them within a very short time of us disappearing from the scene.<br />The weather has been especially cold here in Derby since Thursday with an East wind blowing straight at the nest, so that may have had some effect on the birds, though they have definitely been seen on the nest since Thursday when the cleaning took place. <br />Cheers<br />NickNick Brown (DWT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-85065881745207434512015-03-15T21:04:53.338+00:002015-03-15T21:04:53.338+00:00I am worried that after the man came to to the nes...I am worried that after the man came to to the nest last week the birds have been behaving with anxiety and kept looking around anxiously and I have not seen them settle in the nest like they did a week or so ago.I hope their nesting hasn't been disturbed.I was so shocked when I looked in a saw a man harnessed up at the edge of the nest.....
