Came upon this Raven's nest today, which was a fantastic construction of twigs and branches perched on the side of a cliff. The nest was safe from human interference but able to be viewed very easily. Jean, Jack and I had seen and heard the parent birds but never expected to get such a good view of the babies.

Mrs is moulting her underwear. It happens every year at about this time, the white downy feathers working their way up through the outer ones. In today’s dryer periods they have been flying off like filamentous seeds on the wind but the rain makes her look as scruffy as a wet dandelion head. Ospreys do not use their down to line their own nests but each bit must be a rich find for some smaller bird. Incidentally, with the temperature rocketing from 18C to near freezing, the osprey team won’t be packing away their thermals any time soon.
In 2007 Steve found the remains of this wasps' nest in our roof. The honeycomb layers were inside the papery sphere.
After a soaking overnight rain, I was walking to my car for work and found this in the driveway. I put my lunch in the car, turned around and grabbed my camera.
Just finished this Easter/Spring wreath today. It has big fabric flowers along the bottom and a pretty blue bird in the nest along with some hand-painted wooden eggs. I'm wishing for spring!

January 25, 2025 - Bald Eagles Nest in Anaheim Hills, CA. Photo Shoot with Ayla, Hilario Ruiz, and Michelle Kao.
They seem to build their nests on paper stilts in between the honeycombe layers. Must be for air circulation, very ingenious.
Note the different kinds of eggs. This nest was abandoned by the mother bird. :o( I had nightmares that the eggs would hatch while it was in my classroom, but so far, so good! I guess the eggs weren't fertilized? Not an expert on birds.
The baneling nest is a zerg structure set to appear in StarCraft II. It allows zerglings to morph into banelings.

Wren's Nest National Nature Reserve
Last Friday members of Redditch U3A Digital Photography and Exploring Science Group visite the Wren's Nest site at Dudley. Thes photos were taken there.
"Over 400 million years ago, the area where Dudley now stands was covered by coral reefs and tropical seas providing an environment for the famous fossils we find there today. Over 700 types of fossil are known to have come from Wren's Nest. 186 of which were first discovered and described here and 86 are found nowhere else on Earth.
Wren's Nest National Nature Reserve is a classic geological site of exceptional importance.
It is one of the most notable geological locations in the British Isles and visited and studied by geologists from all over the world. "
What's in the photos?
Top left is a series of seabeds from Silurian times, c480 million years ago. Middle top is the ancient Horsetail plant, which first appeared but a mere 300 million years ago. Top right contains a number of fossils if you look closely. Identifications would be very welcome. Middle left is a small Scabious flower. Middle middle is Dudley Castle - built from the best of limestones found locally. Right middle is Convolvulus which seems to like the limey soils here.
Bottom left are the gentle ripples left on a seashore 480 million years ago, and preserved by some miracle. Bottom middle is a limestone pie built by local farmers to burn limestone and produce quicklime to improve the ph levels of their soils. There are many examples here. Bottom right is a Brachiopod and several other fossil from Silurian times.
