Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!
You need a rag and look who’s taken up residence.

Love it Andy, what bird is it as it's hard to tell from the photo?
I have a set of extension ladders hung high on a wall under a carport and there's a resident robin dive bombs me at the minute. I had to borrow ladders last week as they're clearly nesting somewhere on top.
it's the nesting pigeons that irritate me as the appear to love leaving huge deposits on a black car. I'd consider getting the air rifle out but can't afford the divorce that would follow.
Oh and the magpies that kill the small bird chicks.

It's a Robin Bob. They get in via a small fanlight type window in the garage that is left open 24/7

Perfect soft safe nesting spot for an opportunistic bird, you’ll just have to give up your worst T shirt if you need a rag till they’ve grown a bit.
Gill’s idea of using a buttoned cuff and sleeve from an old shirt stuffed full of rags and hung up in readiness has worked well for me, no birds in it yet lol.

I had been waiting weeks for the weather to break so I could sort out two of my sheds, it has been wet at some point most days and I did not want to empty a shed for it to then rain again and put it all back. So a good day arrived and I had it all planed, until I went to my small empty garden storage shed next to the log store. In this is a Propane cylinder and a blackbird has made a womderful nest in the top of it with five young in it so out of use for a few weeks until they fledge. Will take a picture of the nest at that point as I don't want to disturb her at the moment.

A local haulier had this photo on their Facebook the other day, from their maintenance workshop.

I've extracted countless bee swarms from compost bins
I’d normally leave the car windows open when they are in the garage; I dare not now. The part of the garage the nest in is not separated from where the cars are parked. If the fledgelings leave calling cards I’ll not be happy.
