It's been a joy to imagine walking Toad Hall and reflect on your hospitality, and it will be a joy in the new-given home.

If you remove them, they will sometimes come back (they do check up on the nest for a while) and see their egg(s) are gone and destroy the rest. The solution I use is to boil a mug of water in the microwave, then go out to the nest and drop the offending egg(s) into the water for a minute, then take them out and carefully dry and cool it for a bit and replace it in the nest. Take care not to touch or move the good eggs. Good luck in your new birding grounds.

Susa...We do consider this relocation a great gift. <br />Susan, I didn't know that.
