We have a blackbird who has made a nest in the olive tree right by our front door! She has been sitting on it nearly all the time for three days now - so we are expecting! Apparently they sit on the eggs for about a fortnight. We can get quite close to her to take pictures, and she grimly eyes us. Now, as you well know I don't like birds at all, but I do like mothers - so I'm letting her stay for now.
