955i Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Had a pair of doves nesting in a willow outside my house for about 2 weeks and saw a maggie carrying nest material over the field at the back yesterday. Mild winter has fooled them into breeding early and as I don't think this cold snap is going to last long wouldn't think it will slow them much. Makes my job a pain though as recognised nesting season is end of Feb to end of Sept for my work so got clients that I advised to get it done over winter moaning that birds are already nest building when they are trying to get the work done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
