fast forward


our tailor bird is on fast forward. it is adding one egg everyday to the nest. we did not go near the nest for the last three days since we did not want to cause un necessary distress to the bird. when i first saw the nest three days back there was one egg. today there are four. i peeped in today as i was too curious and was reprimanded by my son. no more bird-nest-eggs till the hatchlings are out.
during one season when the magpie-robin was building the nest in our old house, we had, for some reason, moved one small bit of rag which was a foot away from the nest. the bird abandoned the nest. we will be more careful with this one.
