I’ll start by saying I’m not an experience gardener. I was just doing some tidying when along comes OH and decides that more drastic work is needed (it wasn’t). Anyway all the pruning later I notice a little nest completely exposed with a tiny bright blue egg inside and two on the ground under the bush. I picked up the two and popped them back in the nest then gently moved the nest back a bit to a less exposed area. I was wearing gardening gloves and had been gardening all morning so I’m hoping I won’t have left any human scent or anything on them....
Now I’m really worried that the eggs are still viable but because it’s been ‘tampered with’ the mummy bird will not return or that something with get the eggs....would appreciate some advice or if I’m lucky reassurance that they’ll be ok! I love my garden creatures and go out of my way to rescue bees and snails so this has really bothered me 😩😥 (apologies for the possible over dramatic reaction but also pregnant so probably overly sensitive about the baby birds!)
Thankyou! X
