I've never really thought about nesting bowls before, as they tend to be for food use.....but I was stacking my bowls to tidy them the other day and was pleased with this colour combination.....I think maybe when I have finished my 265 project (only another 3 weeks!) I may have a go at a nesting set.....
OK. I admit it.
I'm nesting.

A female, Eastern Kingbird, sits on her eggs, patiently waiting for their arrival. Her nest sits in a rotted out tree, with water below, like a moat surrounds a castle.

"Nesting Pelican - Vertical" by Patti Deters. This Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is sitting on her nest in a swampy marshy wetland. The male is the one to select the site of the nest, then the female does the building while the male gathers progressively smaller sticks for her. She moves and pushes sticks with her bill to form a comfortable nest cup. The male brings new material for the female to add throughout incubation and may even rearrange the nest. Pelican nests can measure up to 30 inches across. Both parents incubate the eggs and care for the young. This particular ground nest was photographed along the Tamiami Trail near the Florida Everglades and appears to be a simple depressions lined with grass.

The Australasian Grebe is a small waterbird with two distinct plumage phases. The non-breeding plumage of both the male and female is dark grey-brown above and mostly silver-grey below, with a white oval patch of bare skin at the base of the bill. During the breeding season, both sexes have a glossy-black head and a rich chestnut facial stripe which extends from just behind the eye through to the base of the neck. At this time, the eye becomes darker and the patch of skin at the base of the bill becomes pale yellow and more noticeable. When approached, Australasian Grebes usually dive under water.
The Australasian Grebe may raise up to three successive broods in a season. The pale blue eggs are laid in a nest which is a floating mound of vegetation, normally anchored to a submerged branch or reed. The striped downy chicks are able to swim from birth and are cared for by both parents. When parents start breeding again, however, the young of the previous brood are driven away.

Very difficult to photograph. Three quilted, nestable and reversible fabric buckets. My own pattern - the largest measures about 7 inches tall by 9 inches across opening.
I quite like them. Hope you do too partner.
Last Friday was the first day out with my camera since last November.
What a wonderful subject to photograph for the first time this year,
Raven nesting season
Ravens are one of the earliest nesting birds in Britain and Ireland, and may lay eggs from late January to early May. Within any one region, individual pairs may lay the first egg at widely differing times. Occasional early laying can occur in late January (or even late December), especially in coastal regions.
Read on for a breakdown of each phase in the Raven nesting cycle:
Nest construction: It takes 9 to 21 days for a Raven pair to build their nests.
Egg-laying: Female Ravens begin to lay their eggs a few days after the nest construction is complete and lay one egg per day. All told, this phase can last one to two weeks.
Incubation: Raven eggs hatch after 20 to 25 days.
Fledging: Raven chicks leave the nest after 4 to 7 weeks.
P.s I hope everyone hasn't fallen asleep after reading this 😄

Cormorant nesting on the cliffs of Ireland's Eye.
OffShoot outing organised by John Coveney.
I was at the lake when I ran into Mama Cardinal who was gathering nesting material. It is the female who does most of the nest building.

I believe this is a Queen Yellow Jacket. She is currently the only resident of this nest and its quite small...used Macro to get close up. Also that is the back of her, stinger, and all. She has decided to set up residence in the right corner of my front door. Ugh.
Taken this morning in our garden. Our Blireiana plum trees are in full bloom – over a month early!
Hope this brings you a taste of spring, even if you are still having snow.
As always, thank you for your visits and comments. If you've added me as a contact recently, I will do my best to visit you very soon. Life seems awfully busy this year...

As promised, here is a better perspective, with arguably a better lens. The nesting bird would stick its head out the nest whenever I could emulate the barbets' distinctive call. Taiwan Barbet (Megalaima nuchalis; formerly; Megalaima oorti nuchalis)
Taken in the city of Nairobi. The stork's nest all over the city, but more near the soccer field. They are the clean up committee of the city. the city streets are lined with trees and this is what is in them.
