We’ve had Mallard ducks on our 9th floor balcony and a peregrine and we can hear the blackbirds singing from their nest above us. Once a pair of ducks nested on the roof opposite and raised a family of ducklings there.
Sparrow’s eggs?
Now a small bird has made a nest in our courtyard and laid five eggs. It seems amazing. The new gardeners only replanted the window box quite recently.
I caught a glimpse of a little brown bird flying away as I walked past but I’m not sure what type it was.
A neighbour said it was a robin, but surely they have blue eggs?
At last the weather is good enough to sit out on the balcony – and a long time in coming. Within the last couple of weeks we’ve had snow in Scotland and sleet here in Central London.
UV rays not withstanding, I love sitting outside with a book and a cold drink, getting my ‘South of France’ type tan. Luckily, the set of glass-topped table, four armchairs and a sunshade we bought from Argos years ago are still going strong.
