Anas platyrhynchos nest with eggs

Last week my grandfather founded Mallard nest with 12 eggs in it. We managed to take pictures ot it ,but didn't want to disturb the bird so we just took 2 pictures of the nest and walk away from the nest. The nest itself was made near a bush and was very well hidden. Other interesting thing is that it was about 20m away from the water. Here are the pictures :)

Nest pictures

Last week I was in Belogradchik and I've managed to find some nests. Most of them were Blackbird and Song thrush , but I also found Hawfinch nest with 3 eggs inside. Here are the pictures I hope that they are interesting and maybe useful.

Saturday walk

Yesterday I went to Veshtica and set up my mist nets. But there was very strong wind this morning and I've decided that there is no point of trying to ring something. I gathered the nets and took a little walk.

 The sunflower seeds that I use for my feeders.

Yesterday the partridges were near UNWE again. This time we managed to make closer pictures of them until they run away . The birds were 11. Here are the pictures  of the partridges and one Blackbird.
