she pulled lots of her fur out to make the nest and added straw and hay
Sue found this nest in the garden, lieing on the ground. We think it has been used this year. It is just such an amazing thing and begs all kinds of questions about genes encoding for knowledge of how to build....

A bird conveniently tried to build a nest in my grill. Sadly, it was some kind of small bird and not something useful like a chicken.
This is what was left of the Asian Hornet nest. There was probably over a hundred of them flying around it while it was being destroyed. And these things lethal.

I'm getting caught up on weekly photo project themes, and I thought this capture of a bird's nest covered in snow might fit with the theme of "sleep". It seems as if the nest is covered in a snowy blanket, sleeping until the birds return in spring.

This wren's nest was made in a hollowed-out gourd grown last summer. It contains two hatchlings one of which seems most eager for the return of mom who does so in time for my wife to take her second picture.
I found this nest unaware that it was a Mistletoe Bird nest. Either way I did not want to intrude or disrupt the nesting birds so I left it be after a quick photo. I was ecstatic to discover it to be a Mistletoe Bird nest. This nest is made from matted plant down and spider web. The female alone builds the nest and incubates the eggs.
Dois anos após a estreia da equipa solidária EM'Força na São Silvestre de Lisboa, voltámos a marcar presença nesta mítica prova da capital com mais um momento histórico no percurso de quem corre com a Esclerose Múltipla.
O ponto alto do dia foi, sem dúvida, a conquista coletiva de onze pessoas com Esclerose Múltipla, que cumpriram os dez quilómetros da prova em estafeta, num momento de superação único e de grande emoção. Aos nossos heróis, o nosso muito obrigado por terem aceitado o convite e por mostrarem ao mundo que uma pessoa com EM pode alcançar tudo! Obrigado, Ângela, Cátia, Elsa, Luísa, Marco, Melanie, Nádia, Naná, Ricardo, Telmo e Vanda
Destes onze campeões, tivemos três deles que abraçaram toda a distância, o Marco, o Ricardo e o Telmo, aos quais se juntaram mais 31 atletas da equipa. Sim, estamos a falar de um total de 42 pessoas na São Silvestre Lisboa a correr com a Esclerose Múltipla. Verdadeiramente mágico!
A todos os que vestiram a camisola "mágica" que nos tem movido por todo o país - e já em mais de 10 mil quilómetros - o nosso grande obrigado por todo o vosso apoio.
Em baixo, estão os nomes de todos os atletas que se juntaram a nós nesta magnífica e histórica prova.

Neste domingo (23), o Sesc-DF realizou o segundo dia do Festival de Inverno, reunindo mais de 3 mil pessoas. Com a proposta de reunir famílias no parque da cidade, para curtir o ambiente, assistir o pôr do sol e ouvir uma boa música, o festival trouxe a cantora, compositora e bailarina, Fernanda Abreu para entoar os clássicos lançados em mais de 30 anos de carreira.
A nest made by wasps. If you look at the large image you'll see the fibers from the paper pulp nests they make. I hate wasps, but this nest was cool to find abandoned.
Nest of Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)

From Wikipedia, free encyclopedia:
Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) is a common and widespread sylviid warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe.
It is a robust typical warbler, mainly grey in plumage. Like most Sylvia species, it has distinct male and female plumages: The male has the small black cap from which the species gets its name, whereas in the female the cap is light brown. This small passerine bird is migratory, and northern and central European breeders winter in southern Europe and north Africa where the local populations are resident. It is hardier than most warblers, partly because it will readily eat small berries as well as the more typical warbler diet of insects. This is a bird of shady woodlands with ground cover for nesting. The nest is built in a low shrub, and 3–6 eggs are laid.
Our granddaughters were playing in a neighbor's front yard when they saw newly hatched baby birds and an apparently intact egg which had fallen out of a nest that had been constructed atop a wreath on the front door. Somehow the wreath had been rotated 90 degrees to the right, causing its contents to empty out. They quickly gathered the chicks and covered them in a cloth and called me. I suggested that they simply return the wreath to its original position and replace the hatchlings and egg in hopes that the parent bird would care for them. They thought that two of the chicks were not moving and could be dead. One chick was larger and more advanced. Could this have been asynchronous hatching or cowbird nest parasitism?

Sheer bloody luxury! I noticed this near work today. This pair of Masked Lapwings have nested at the edge of the gutter. I think this must be their second brood this year as most of the lapwing chicks are flying now. Many birds seem to be breeding repeatedly this year presumably as a result of the rain and lush conditions.
