Muddy mare, have you ever seen that clip on one of David Attenborough's very old programmes where the tiny ducks leap out of a very high nest and sort of bounce when they land? Very alarming but I suppose they are so light that they don't come to any harm.
And, joy of joys, mummy blackbird is definitely sitting right down on the nest with just her eyes and beak showing
