having been busy hedge and tree cutting today, I came across a nest with two chicks, we think sparrows as that was the only bird close by.
Anyway, I was close to cutting into the nest, luckily I noticed but I hope I have frightened off the mother, anyone idea's as to whether the mother will return after I disturbed the branches etc around the nest, I did not actually touch the nest itself.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I had to push the camera in towards the nest and hope for the best, not wanting to disturb anything, we have now made that area a no-go zone until the little ones fly the nest.

If it is a blackbirds nest,it would have built the nest at an extremely early date.Say,a week to build the nest and 3 weeks incubation.Seems just a bit early especialy as the weather hasn`t been to warm either.Could you give more info on the nest like size,building material and what kind of cover its in.My personal money would be on a Robin,but need to know more.

Wrong time for the birds to be tree and hedge cutting.
Well, time dictates when I'm afraid, although I have often cut at this time of the year with no problems in the past.

If you look closely at the first picture you may will get an idea of what the nest is made of, to be honest after I noticed the nest I retreated quickly and did not take too much notice, only retutning with the camera and that was done very quickly.
The size is about 8-10 inches I think, it seems to be made up of all sorts. If you also look closely in picture two you will see a blue egg, which is why my wife said blackbird.

Hi again Steve,
lol been there mate, last year noticed two collared doves building their nest in a tree close to the house, guess what, that was the tree that really needed cutting back, instead my wife made a movie of them and their young from a bedroom window, saved me the job of getting up the ladder and sawing away that did
