I used this 8 foot stepladder this winter to check the gutters on the north side of the house but left it outside. This robin built her nest on it last week; guess I won't be using it for awhile...
In mid-February 2018, the construction of the "SolAce" unit started in the southwest corner of NEST. The star of the unit is the façade, which is designed to ensure a positive energy balance of the combined living and working areas throughout the year.
A regular sight locally, seemingly on the increase - despite several consecration bodies doing theyre hardest to smash tjeir habo to bits.
10 pairs / singing males seen today in parts of a local study area, with other territories not visited.
Houghton, Co.Durham.
This nest appeared to be deserted, maybe in the spring some pair of big birds will move back in. I assume from the size it must be an eagle nest but surprised it was so close to boaters.
Regardless of what may live in the nest we will avoid getting this close once nesting season gets here.
This is the nest of lappet-faced vultures. These nests are big enough & stable enough for me to climb in comfortably & sit. You can see the edge of the ladder I was on in the lower border of the picture.
The Oriole nests around here in rural New Mexico are often made of materials like this one, strips from feed sacks, blue tarps, horse hair and twigs.

Measuring the nest of a Great Bittern (Botaurus stellaris) at RSPB Old Moor Nature Reserve. This year's nest was bigger than last year and about 40cm lower. It also had a very large ramp of reeds built by the female from the nest to the water to allow easy access.
met Alicia at the market in Crows Nest, she had a stall called Little Teapot Images and is a photographer. Please check out her site she does some beautiful family portraits and is quite the artist. I have photographed a number of people with small business and it may at times sound like I am giving them a plug, well I am! These guys are out there as part of the community, employing people in the community, generating income for the community, and really adding to what that community is. I really want to thank all the small business owners while they may say you have a small business it has a hugely positive impact on the community and you all have big hearts. If I may continue to digress for just a minute or two longer, I would like to make a few more points. When times are tough small business do everything they can to weather the storm, keep their staff, provide their goods and or service at a reasonable price. Contrast that to maybe....... a bank. They close smaller community branches (often even taking the ATM with them so you have to use another branches ATM at $2 a transaction) they cut staff and off shore it to poorly paid countries and up interest rates to protect fat profits. All the while laughing all the way to the bank as they pay themselves their big bonuses. Small business you win my business!
Back to Alicia. Taking a photo of a photographer is scary for me, I do this as a hobby I am by no means professional. Its like having a teacher look over your work, you know theirs is better. She was lovely and we had a great chat.
Alicia has been living on and off in Crows Nest for the past 9yrs and really likes the "sense of community and village feel". I think I am getting a theme here with Crows Nest, village and sense of community are qualities that are coming through strong.
If the town square is the heart or Crows Nest then surely Willoughby Rd is the main artery pumping people around this lovely little village. Willoughby Rd is High Street of Crows Nest, it has the shops, cafes and restaurants, it has a business without being hectic. It really is an amazing little village and believe me when I say the paths lead you to the square in the middle.
Alicia has noticed some smaller retail business close down over the past few years, mostly the smaller fashion shops. This could be as a result of Chatswood up the road and its two very large shopping centres. But in its wake many new restaurants, cafes and wine bars have opened in its place. Its hard for the small retail outlet to compete with the larger shopping centres but it is nice to see that while some things have closed it has made space for new things to move in and open and the good food, fine wine and coffee culture has really taken off in Crows Nest. Its a place that is changing and evolving and in that way its still growing.
Alicia sums up Crows Nest very simply "people come her and fall in love and stay". I very much like that, and agree.
Thanks for sharing your Crows Nest Alicia

This nest of eggs was found at Devil's Coullee in southern Alberta. They belonged to the crested hadrosaur Hypacrosaurus.
I was brave to take a shot straight up as it was still raining pretty hard. So with my back to the wind I was able to put enough angle on my shot and not turn my camera into a rain gauge.
Eagles Nest; not so many people taking in the view in the rain/fog. I jumped onto the wrong bus, trying to tell everyone else they needed to switch to another bus.. Turns out it was easier for just me to switch.
Stopped by the nest at about 10 AM this morning and met Luis and Phil. The latter had been there for at least 2 hours. He reported that the new female was there with the male around 8:15. He also saw both the prior morning and is sure of the ID of the female.This has the shape of the male bird (Pride) but interestingly enough is hanging one foot. We have seen this habit before in both of the adults but never with the leg hanging down in flight or with toes extended as has been the case with Joy. Visit rosy-finch.blogspot.com
One of several channel-lume letters with bird nests, Bruno's Supercenter, a chain-grocery on Airport Blvd., Mobile AL
Sunshine the canary had a little surprise for us last week. "He" laid an egg! So much for being a guaranteed male -- not that it matters, really, since I was looking for a companion bird more than a singer.
Once I realized I had a girl and not a boy, I read up on what a female bird needs, and that turned out to be a nest. Sunshine had been trying to tell me this for a while: so desperate was her desire for nesting material she had been plucking her own feathers. (I treated her for mites instead, no doubt adding insult to injury.) But now the cage is outfitted with a little wicker nest and three types of nesting material. OK, four if you count my hair, which seems to have made its way into the nest, as it has every other corner of the house.
It took Sunshine a few days to get the nest thing figured out, but once she realized what it was all about she wasted no time customizing it to her liking. She's very proud of her efforts, and every day when we come home from work, she's eager to show us what she's done! And happily , the feather picking seems to have stopped.
