Hi all,
It’s Sally Snow form Aden Productions here again. Many of you may remember that I posted a request on the forum about a month ago requesting sittings of urban birds to film for a BBC Wales production we are currently making. A big thank you to all of you that sent suggestions in, they were greatly appreciated. There were a few suggestions that fitted the bill perfectly and we followed them up, however not all items proved as successful as others and so we are still searching for a few more suggestions, although this time they are a little more specific. It would be wonderful if anybody felt they could help us with this. The two items I am hoping you could help me with are as follows:
a) I was hoping somebody might have a bird nesting in their garden. Not in a nest box, but in a tree or bush etc. Please could you also let me know at what stage the birds are at (if you know) e.g. sitting on eggs, feeding young...
b) I was hoping somebody might know of bird/s nesting in a manmade object/structure (that aren’t swallows, swifts, house martins or gulls as we have already featured them). A good example of this was the Great tit Ian Morris found nesting in a postbox. Ideally we would like to find another example like this, as unfortunately we think the Great tit may have thrown the towel in.
If anybody had any suggestions I would love to hear from you. My email address is sally.snow@adenproductions.com
Thank you kindly for all your help,
Best wishes,
