A bottle of Kleveretien from Hobbybrouwerij Het Nest in Turnhout, Belgium, at Zythos Bier Festival 2013.
Het Nest Kleveretien is a 10% abv dark strong ale brewed by Het Nest at Scheldebrouwerij in Meer, Belgium, it had been recommended to me by a Leuven local the day before. The name Kleveretien means "Ten of Clubs" in Dutch and the beer was made to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the beer tasting club Orde van de zatte Mus ("Order of the Drunken Sparrow").
The beer poured a clear, red tinged brown color with a beige head. It had a rich dark aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with a soft, creamy texture. Flavor followed up the aroma, with plenty of coffee and dark chocolate, but also some ripe or even dried fruits (raisins?). As it warmed up I also got some caramel notes. The beer finished sweet with lingering coffee notes.
Overall a very tasty and a bit "different" Belgian strong ale, thanks to the coffee and chocolate. An excellent ale!
Next one in the series... I am enjoying this...

This morning my friend Justin & I checked a nest box I haven't checked in 3 years. The box had the remains of a Northern Flicker nest. Hopefully an owl this year!

Spotted a colony of blue herons nesting along the Roberts Pass bike trail in London, Ohio. This nest has mom, dad and at least one quickly growing chick! - (at London Bike Trail)
Snowbirds have flown, with all their children grown, and left behind for me to find, the testament of their love, once home.
Some bird, made a nest just outside the window in the stairs of my building, and it has 3 little blue eggs there.
Liked the way the glass distorted the picture

It seems to be a real struggle getting Flickr to upload even short video clips at the moment. In seems that almost every attempt, part of the initial frame stays in place with bits of the video then playing behind it.
Anyway for those who are interested, the blue tits have been busy nest building and the female is now incubating 8 eggs.

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

John talked to some people going to the opposite way on the trail who told him there was a Peregrine Falcon nest in the cliffs, and so there was. The G9 wasn't quite up to the task of a good picture, but at least it got a picture.
Note: this photo was taken in California, USA. Representatives from Birdlife Malta have informed me that this photo was used in a 2009 Television Malta broadcast to support the false claim that Peregrine Falcons were successfully breeding in Malta. This photo was taken in California, not Malta. Peregrine Falcons have been hunted to extinction on Malta, and as far as Birdlife knows, there are no remaining breeding pairs on the island.
The TVM broadcast is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DVi5Kozgek
My photo is used very briefly toward the end of the video.
Some deranged person built a people-sized nest in a tree and lived there for quite some time. Seriously.
Photographs in this collection have been produced by Alison Lowrie, Heather Do, Liz Dolinar, and Adriana Haro at request of Michael Ashley for the UC Berkeley Anthropology 136e class, Spring 2011. The purpose was to digitally document the cultural heritage of Green Gulch Zen Center with the objective of gaining better insight into the Zen Center's cultural history through the use of photographic technology.
Green Gulch Farm Zen Center (Latitude 37.86657, Longitude -122.56528), also referred to as the Green Dragon Temple, is located in Marin County, CA in a beautiful coastal valley overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Green Gulch, approximately a 10 mile drive north of San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, is located on 115 acres surrounded by hundreds of acres of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Green Gulch is a cultural heritage site constituting of one of the three centers that form the San Francisco Zen Center founded by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi [1]. In 1972, Green Gulch was purchased from George Wheelwright, co-founder of Polaroid, as a part of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi's vision to obtain a farm near the San Francisco Bay area where a community of Zen Buddhist practitioners could communally live and practice in accompany of one another [2] [3]. Part of the Wheelwright's stipulation of the sale to the San Francisco Zen Center was that the farm must forever remain open to the public, as well as partake in agricultural awareness [4]. Green Gulch now serves as a Buddhist practice center in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition, were their endeavor is to awaken the people residing, working, and visiting the center in the bodhisattva spirit-the spirit of kindness and realistic helpfulness [1]. Green Gulch is compromised of a temple (the Zendo), organic farm and garden, guesthouse, and conference center. The center offers training and practice in Zen mediation through workshops and retreats, as well as apprenticeships emphasizing meditation practice, Buddhist teachings, and organic gardening and farming methods [5].
Photographs in this collection were captured on Sunday April 24, 2011, between 11:30 AM and 2:15 PM Pacific Time, under sunny conditions. Nixon D80 and two-Canon XSI cameras were used. A tripod was used for HDR shots. The photos were post-processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.

Swan's Nest, Westerfield, Suffolk
The architect and antiquarian Henry Munro Cautley, always known as Munro Cautley or simply Cautley, was born in 1876 at Bridge in Kent, where his father was rector. When he was very young the family moved to Ipswich, for his father to take up the post of the Curate-in-Charge of the new All Saints church in Chevalier Street. His father later became rector of Westerfield on the outskirts of Ipswich, and Munro Cautley would live in and around Ipswich for the rest of his life.
At the start of the 20th Century, Cautley was still living with his parents in Westerfield rectory, but In 1904 he married the widow Mabel Turner née Flick, and they lived in her house, Swan's Nest, a large 17th Century house in Westerfield. There were considerable extensions to the back of this house in the first decade of the 20th Century, and this may well have been Cautley's first architectural work. It is romantic to think that he may have met and fallen in love with his client, like something out of a JL Carr novel.
After 1911 they moved to the house he designed from scratch, Drumbeg, at 4 Constitution Hill in north Ipswich. Both houses survive today. Cautley and Mabel lived at Drumbeg for the rest of their lives. She died in 1958, he died in 1959. They are buried together in Westerfield churchyard.
Now I accept this isn't the greatest definition, focus etc, but it is very special. I took my 5 year old grandson out before bedtime on his first proper nature walk in the Ashdown Forest. Only 90 minutes but a priceless and wonderful time full of awe. We were lucky enough to see the great spotted woodpecker nest, at least two juveniles and a one being fed. Lots of other things too but I felt I had to share such a special moment with my flickr friends, notwithstanding the quality.Sometimes it's the content that matters more.......
