This morning, 12-11, was pretty active with our local eagles! The male was doing all the work, while the female stayed at the nest. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come!😀

Take with a Canon R7 with a 100-500L lens.

I was shocked to discover this Red-throated Loon nesting essentially in plain sight, but still very well hidden, in a pond just at the edge of town.

Here are some more images from this morning's observations of the activity. Nesting material being brought in, feasting on breakfast, and repositioning on a branch.

Jackdaws are the smallest member of the crow family (collectively known as corvids), which also includes ravens, crows, rooks, jays and magpies.

 

Like most of their cousins, jackdaws are just as much at home in farmland and woodland, as they are in urban landscapes. The latter is thanks to their adaptability and intelligence.

These Roseate Spoonbills appear to be nesting at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Set in a lush green surroundings, these birds have the perfect habitat and are safe from predators.

In the summer of 2001, as a present to myself, I purchased a Canon FD 200 mm bayonet mount lens. This roll of film was my first test roll shot with it. I still have the lens and regard it as one the best in my collection.

 

Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 2001.

Door of our Cottage

Spotted this guy at the mouth of its pitch lined cavity in an old fir snag. I've read that nutchatches will smear pitch around the entrances of their nest holes to dissuade insects or other predators. Don't know whether this is the case here with this chickadee

A pair of Nuthatches were working tirelessly at Burton Mere RSPB, adding beak-fulls of mud to finish off their nest hole.

 

A couple more shots below - in the second, you can just about see part of the mud wall in the hole.
