Reed Buntings male and female with a Reed Warbler making a lot of noise

At first I thought the female Bunting was a Reed Warbler

Wish I had the proper camcorder to have a bit more zoom but you can expand it if you are watching on your phone

Not up to the standard of Arbtalk SUYBs I am afraid!  I will go down and take a proper video with the camcorder.

Not showing birds but bird nest!

This old cast iron Edwardian post box was in a lay-by in our hamlet but one year, some time ago, the wooden post supporting it rotted and the Post Office took it away.  My father complained and demanded its return.  I welded up a metal stand for it and we put it by the back door, really for the paper man and other non PO stuff.  As the years went by new postman came along and took it to be the real thing and active, so we just posted all our mail there, which was handy

Now not in use for several years I discovered a new tenant, a Robin.

cast iron home, safe as houses! (With a lockable front door as well)

I didn't get pics, but this spring my Blue Birds were fighting over a box I built for them. The past 3 years the Blue Birds have raised 3 clutches each summer, and the constant coming and going has worn the hole bigger. Now other birds are interested in it. The House Sparrows and Carolina Wrens were fighting over it. The sparrows won. The day the last Sparrow chick left the nest, the Blue Birds were back. They took over the nest and are doing well. Now I have 2 BB boxes with nests, Joe.
