The Joy of Nature

Since mid-Janaury one has had to sneak around my deck due to a thrush or a blackbird building his/her nest right on the vine on my fence.



Four beautiful BLUE speckled eggs, in the most perfectly made nest.

Mumma sits on the nest





 Just hatched 1 day old! [27th of Jan]





Waiting for feeding.....about a week old






A fledgling - ready to leave - only 10 or 11 days old but nest is slipping in branches of the tree so looks like they are fledgling earlier for preservation reasons - pretty sure it's a thrush!









departure day Waitangi Day 6th February
