In the trees at RSPB Swell Wood.
There is a lot of recently cut hazel in the woods and the Herons are coming down to break off bits and pieces for their nests. I ought to go back and capture this as the nest building seemed to stop around 10:30 and I realised too late what was going on.
As we head into fall I with covid still on our heels, I find myself looking for objects around my house - making do with available light and subjects. This nest usually has a home on my window ledge. I'm sure I can probably find lots of oddities around her to keep me busy this winter.
Since we lost our breeding pair of swans a couple of years ago, we've been without new cygnets each spring, which is something I have missed. The young swan who has taken the territory along this stretch of the Union Canal now has a mate, and a friend alerted me to the fact they had made a nest and it looks like there are eggs in it, so perhaps this spring we will have cygnets again!
Sadly being young and inexperienced, they have chosen a less than ideal location - in a busy area, right against the canal wall by some apartments, meaning locals cats, foxes and others can see down into the nest. Hopefully the large swans will be a deterrent to any would be predators and we get some hatchlings...
Delighted to see them building up the nest this evening as I walked home from work.
A Laysan albatross, or mōlī, returns to land at a breeding colony after many solitary months at sea. It tries out a nesting site, usually a simple scrape, while waiting for its returning mate. Albatrosses have uniquely complex and long duration courtship rituals that result in lifetime pair bonding.
Two becomes one with a small nest perched between two trees basking in the orange glow from the setting sun at Otterspool, Liverpool on the banks of the River Mersey.
A Jackdaw collecting nesting material
The Jackdaw is Britain’s smallest black crow ( a family of birds collectively known as corvids), which also includes ravens, crows, rooks, jays and magpies. With a distinctive silvery sheen to the back of its head. The pale eyes are also noticeable. The jackdaw call is a familiar hard ‘tchack’ from which it gets its name. It will commonly nest in chimneys, buildings, rock crevices and tree holes. Jackdaws can be found in fields, woods, parks and gardens. They’re social birds and roost communally in woodlands. They’re widespread and common across the UK, except the Scottish Highlands. British birds are mostly resident, though upland breeding birds migrate south and west to lowland regions and Ireland for the winter. Meanwhile, the wintering population is increased by immigrants from northern Europe, which arrive along the east coast in the autumn.

Nesting Herring gulls on cliff tops. There were so many more of them but I had to crop the image otherwise they'll be even smaller. Larger view when you click on the image.

at Heckscher Park...
I had to laugh at the goose that made her nest in a planter right in front of the museum... I guess she wants to be the first on line when it opens!!!
Since I've been off, I've been honing my wildlife photography skills....

This one was taken from outside, the robin is so friendly that it just sits on the edge of the birdbath watching us. He's nesting in the conifer behind him.
Thanks everyone, this just snuck into Explore
