Tragically, I never saw any birds near the nest later on – I guess they abandoned it, decided to quit procreating, or just got eaten by some other bird or cat. But the stars of the month were some breeding Eurasian Tree Sparrows. The male at work. The juvenile Chinese Blackbirds get older but still look kind of stupid.

Further down the road, we reach a derelict building with a large veranda hidden among the trees – an abandoned hunting lodge (if I were in a situation to invest, I would choose to upgrade this into a luxury wildlife lodge).

Paving of the road across the Reva Pond started and was abandoned several months later: only the sidewalk was paved. Protection of the area is far more important than my personal birding needs (my birding obsession, to be honest, addiction even). Yet, the site is quite ruined.

We also try to re-nest uninjured baby birds so we don’t interfere with a bird’s breeding cycle. A parent bird’s instinct to feed and protect their young is very strong, and they will not willingly abandon their babies. Unfortunately a bird’s nest location is not always perfect.
