It always impresses me how even the tiniest nest seems to survive out summer rains and winds. Birds are intelligent builders! It's spring here now, and we are being bothered by birds who nest on the ground. Plovers are territorial and aggressive in nesting season , so that you have to take great care to avoid upsetting them by getting too close - they have nasty spurs on their legs. The park at the top of our street is beautifully mowed by the council - except for a circle of grass almost knee-high now, right in the middle where the plovers are nesting. The local children have had to move their games further away!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.com
