WHITE BREASTED NUTHATCH
Hi everyone..
I was scrolling down in this community and stopped when seeing this post.While reading the content, i remeberd seeing a bird making its nest in a plant on my backyard,few days ago.I got up from the and ran to look for it.
It was still there. Its a white breasted nuthatch.She had finished her work. The nest is so much perfect and neat.
I tried to go closer. But she started to make sound. At that moment i realised there is eggs in it. I waited for sometime. She is sitting above them,looking at me. Waited further more .But nothing happend. she is still gaurding her precious eggs. I went back in to my room. And came back after some time. This time i got lucky. She had flew away. I did not waste anytime. Took some photos.
Here are some pictures of the nest and her precious eggs.
There were 2 eggs in the nest.I felt a joy in my heart seeing those eggs.
The eggs were creamy white in color speckled with reddish brown. It is estimated that the eggs are about 3cm length and 1.5cm width
The sight was too much over whelming. I wanted to spend some more time, to gaze at them. But there mother was returning and i did not want to take a risk fighting against her.
I will surely post the images when her precious eggs hatch
