Birds nesting

Today I was just musing on whether the days did look and feel a little longer and wondering if it was just a case of the snow making the air look brighter when I was buzzed by a collared dove carrying nesting material into the horrible old cupressus tree next door.
Obviously someone thinks that spring is in the air.
Apophthegm - a big word for a small thought.

Our Collared Doves have been ..........erm............how shall I put this.......ACTIVE on the TV aerial for a couple of weeks now and House Sparrows are also busily collecting nest material.
Just hope they are better forecasters than the Met office.
It must be something in the air - our collared doves' behaviour has been embarassing this afternoon - and on our neighbour's roof too!!!
And they have been 'at it' round this way too and on the roof tops and in broad daylight!!
It's blue tits in our garden in the south. Much too early really although it's good to see the nesting boxes being used finally.
Apparently collared doves will breed all year round if weather and food supplies are good
Yes, that's right. Collared doves will breed all year round. I saw a male blackbird pursuing a female blackbird yesterday, but she was having none of it!
Runny - tits like coconuts
RB, you are naughty
I didnt know where to look, Spring in the air in your household as well.
Our Doves are at it as well. Both male and female blackbirds in the garden but nothing in that department as yet.
