  • Nest advice needed

    I've just found a large nest, probably blackbird, about 3' up in a laurel bush, and only 3' behind the greenhouse. I assume its from last year.
    My question is, are blackbirds likely to use the same nest this year? I need to do some pruning on the laurel but won't do it if the birds will reuse the nest.

    No she will not use the old nest, so i would suggest you do your pruning ASAP.

      Thanks Paul, I knew you'd know the answer! I only need to take a few tall branches from the top of the laurel but there's not much room between the greenhouse and the bush so didn't want to disturb them if they came back. The nest can stay as it is - but, I don't know how I didn't notice it last year! Could it be this year's nest or is it too early?
