Was in a tree being removed from against a tall hedge (busy with nests). Had a male blackbird spend a lot of time in the hedge next to me watching, just making sure I wasn't a threat to his clutch of eggs, assured him I wouldn't cause any trouble. He seemed quite proud.

Agreed, I stand corrected Billhook.

 

Had assumed the nest belonged to the blackbird hanging around close by, but I think you're right. Having compared them on an egg identification site the nests are similar, but different looking eggs.

They're quite different looking eggs from the thrush Gary, another learning day.

That blackbird I was talking to beside the thrush nest must've thought I was daft!

Also Thrushes line their nests with a layer of mud, whereas Blackbirds do not.
