A few weeks ago we spotted a bird which had built a nest in the courtyard of the building in which we live. This is located right in the heart of central London. The bird had built its nest on top of a post attached to a wall at head height. Eggs were produced which then hatched. Each morning we would creep past the nest, peep in and then walk to work happy that nature had produced another surprise.
However, and there always is a however, one day the bird and babies had gone. The nest was bare. We think that something had come along and eaten the young chicks, possibly a rat. A great shame, but in reality this was not the best place to build a nest.
First one to identify the bird ... gets named in this blog!
