If you didn't know it was there you wouldn't see it.
You may need to click on the photograph to confirm that it is actually there, just in the right hand fork of the tree.
We have kept peeking at the nest and just yesterday noticed that Mrs. Chaffinch is indeed sitting on the nest. Again, you may need to click on the photo to see her peeking out.
Beneath her, hopefully, will be a clutch of 4 or 5 eggs which will take 11 - 13 days to incubate.
I hesitated in posting this news because the last time I shared a nest things didn't turn out very well and the nest was abandoned.
Fingers crossed for Mr & Mrs Chaffinch.
Oh yes fingers crossed, we have both Chaffinches & Greenfinches visiting the feeders & of course plenty of Goldfinches. The first two are a recent addition to the garden & are lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, thanks for visiting :) Goldfinches are lovely.
DeleteAs Joanne says fingers crossed. I like the more subdued colouring of the females. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely...And yes fingers crossed....
ReplyDeleteI like it too although some people think it drab.
ReplyDeleteFingers are now crossed for fledglings - she is feeding chicks but i can only get a glimpse of their beaks :)
