Oh wow what an amazing picture! I had blackbirds nesting in my Camellia last year and I could see the nest but not inside it. I’d never be able to stop watching them!
Saw a roe deer in the garden yesterday evening and at first though it was the doe again but it turned out to be a young buck. The doe is more tolerant of our presence but this buck was very twitchy.
Here is a rather blurry shot of him trying to catch our scent after seeing us through the window.
But I don’t think this is part of the courtship goings on ... nest building took place a good while back .,, I think the nest is probably home to several bugs and mites by now, as the space under the tiles warms up.
If bluetits use aromatics to deter ‘bedbugs’ why not starlings too?

Talk about following one way systems brings to mind a programme I saw which found out that pigeons use roads to navigate. So I guess Cambridge to London might be down the M11?😊🥴

@wild edges - dreadful effort. You really must try harder....
That's a beauty- do you ever get yours printed and get them on the walls?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
