When looking at birds nests care must be taken not to touch or disturb the nest. My knowledge of bird's is not great but I think these are Robin red breast's. Photos taken over a period of three weeks with a cannon 450D. Is'nt nature wonderful.

These last four pictures were taken today high up in a tree, had a quick glance at the mother and think it was a thrush. Shot using a wide angle lens. It was amazing to see what they had gathered to build there nest.
