Description
Among the leaves of myrtle in the garden of a friend of mine, I found this nest with three not incubated eggs... my friend said that they are eggs of "verdone", scientific name: Carduelis chloris. But why there is no mother to hatch? The female, according to the tab of this bird, do not abandon the nest for 14 days of hatching, the male who takes care of feeding the companion for the duration of incubation.
Perhaps the male is no longer back and the female had to leave the nest to find food? And why also the mother is no longer session?
How many questions... to you the answers!
I wish you a wonderful weekend! :)

a wonderful photo!!!!!! .....this “drama” I had this year also! A blackbird had already sat on the eggs. But bird parents were unfortunately "driven out" by the neighbour cat..
Excellent capture and focus!!!
Excellent questions ! Hope the mother will be back or it would be so sad ! Great capture
great capture
Wonderful work.
Beautiful capture thank you
Great find..magnific capture! I never told you that i like your avatar so much. Cool picture :)
An excellent shot, shame about the parents disappearing
My first suspect would be a neighbour's cat--or a wild stray. Some hawks could be a problem too.
wonderful find and shot
excellent clarity ....poor eggs
I have never seen any bird actually do the hatching thing in person.super shot
Excellent capture!!
Yes, nice photo.
Beautiful... Very well put together.
Fantastic capture, Maria. Amazing light on that image. It shows how good birds are with nest building. They are very skillful weavers. A bit sad with the abandoned eggs.+5
Very good work!
Gorgeous focus and superb lighting in here, it's very beautiful!
Superb composition Maria! Beautiful capture, hope mama returns! I went out this morning to find three pigeon eggs broken on the sidewalk, apparently the squirrels got them:-( sad events!
Beautiful find and capture Maria, and yes many unanswered questions!
I love this capture!
sad but it happens when someone touches the nest or eggs the bird will leave and not come back,nice photo.
Beautiful light and colors. Great shot!
ho letto il commento di Ursula e mi sono chiesta :perchè la mia "micia" non caccia nessuno? Convive allegramente con tutti gli uccellini qui intorno. E' una bellissima foto e preferisco immaginare che la mamma sia andata a farsi un giro e poi torna!: Ciao MC.:)gea
Marvelous shot! How sad that the parents left the nest.
