phoebejo Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 It depends how far along the Magpie eggs were as to how long they could be left. Nearer to term the chick is able to retain enough body heat to keep going, earlier on while it's still forming it's more risky. Nobody told Francesca Brahma about that and she'd regularly leave her nest for two hours or so By some miracle between her and her sister they did hatch four chicks last week, however the first arrived Thursday, the last on Sunday and I think that's because when the egg got cold it must've nearly died and took a few days to get going again, hence the big delay.

JulesB Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Morning chaps RMF: I am locked in a struggle with the council. All I want is to try and get a dog bin installed near a footpath where people just leave mounds of dog poo. Nobody ever rings me back yet 'the system' says they are constantly trying to ring me. In fact 'the system' shows that someone tried to call me before I actually put my first request in, which is amazing customer service on their part But my request has been rejected anyway (by someone whose name and position at the council appears to be a secret)on the grounds that the bin will get vandalised. Which is even more spooky, because I haven't even said where I would like it placed yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 They do not have to have a posh bin. Our local country park was not allowed any money for extra bins so they knocked one up out of offcuts from fence posts. They were in a position to have materials to hand so it was easy for them, but with a bit of ingenuity I am sure your council could come up with something low cost from recycled materials and win themselves brownie points for recycling.

merledogs Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 How very psychic of them Jules I went out this morning to take pics of the tree situation, just in case any damage is done by branches which overhang my garden by quite a bit. It appears that last the nob has been chopping bits off another, smaller tree by hand, which is behind my greenhouse. Lo and behold, I could see a nest in the tree, with mummy wood pigeon sitting on the nest. I managed to get video footage and photos of mummy wood pigeon posing nicely for me I posted a note through neighbour Dave's door to let him know. The feckin nob either didn't check whether there was a nest in the tree, or else carried on regardless, just leaving a few branches. I've got clear evidence this time, I'm gonna also report him to the RSPB. Feckin idiot, he's shot himself right in the foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
