Today Michelle came and asked us some key questions. We also welcomed Jenny from Manx Birdlife. We thought about why birds build nests? ( for eggs and for attracting a mate) How long does it take them to create a nest? (this can be from quick a scratch in the sand through to a couple of weeks) Are all nests built at the same time of year? (No. Rooks and Collared Doves may start as early as January so they can produce more than one brood) Are all nests built in trees?(No. They can be found on, and even under, the ground, in bushes and also on rocks at the coast)
