It's such a thrilling call though isn't it - you can see now that I wasn't just making it up when I said the hairs on the back of my neck stood up when I heard the birds calling over London while I was sitting watching a play at the Globe theatre. Ours lives would be all the poorer, wouldn't they, without such things. If this is mad, I'm glad to be one of the mad people! And very glad of the fellowship with all of you other mad people out there. I do plan to visit Derby later in the year and see "our" birds and I hope they perform for me with a bit of special calling and flying!<BR/>Sue H, WendoverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-10879785732149500562007-07-17T07:26:00.000+01:002007-07-17T07:26:00.000+01:00Thanks a lot Sue for the RSPB website - it will he...Thanks a lot Sue for the RSPB website - it will help me solve a mystery of birdsong I hear in the garden but can't identify.

In the Spring of 2006 it was noticed that they were now showing such signs and indeed the female was trying to form a scrape in the mullions above the louvres. This would have been an impossible place to lay but she was very determined. The decision was made to 'help out' and advice was quickly sought. In early April Nick Moyes and his friend Nick Evans, who made the tray, abseiled down to fix it in place. Within days both birds had accepted the tray and in a couple of weeks the female was incubating the three eggs - the rest, as they say is history!!!!<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps.Project Member (Derby Cathedral)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04026424381132887571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-59387647945740887982007-07-16T18:48:00.000+01:002007-07-16T18:48:00.000+01:00Anna, Ripley asked what camera I use and how I tak...Anna, Ripley asked what camera I use and how I take them.
