Should we leave well alone now or remove the umbrella before morning? There is plenty of access to the nest but not from the top. Thank you, pip |
Hello pip and welcome to wab,
I would be tempted to leave well alone and watch them from your house. Maybe put some food out for them to help them on there way. It shouldnt be long before they are leaving the nest
