On a walk bout at Barr Lake where they have several nesting box's and I wasn't sure if a bird was in this one so I zoomed in - nope nothing but leaven.
There is a pair of treecreepers nesting somewhere in our orchard and so they are visiting frequently throughout the day with food!
Cookie is our first female rabbit and as such we've never experience nesting before. We did notice quite a bit of fur in her hutch last week but it wasn't until this weekend that we saw her collecting grass from the garden.
Poor Dylan (who no longer has the baby making facilities) just watched from a distance as Cookie went back and forth to her hutch. Occasionally he'd jump in too to have a look, but a few growls from Cookie soon put him in his place.
Of course, now we're all wondering if the operation was actually a success...
Well partner, you said that you would like some storage, so I was thinking about making you a nesting bowl or two. I haven't made that pattern before, so I made the 4 inch version to try it out. I would be making yours in your color picks and in a larger size, so no worries if this one isn't to your taste. It will probably become my thread catcher unless you really love it.
A couple of questions for you: Do you like the scrappy patchwork look, or would you prefer some mini blocks for the decorative panel on yours? Would you prefer a solid or maybe a linen for the main fabric, or would you like something like the black crosshatch I used here? Would you like me to add a handle or two? And most importantly, what sizes would be most useful for you?
If you really dislike it, or would prefer I make you something else, please say so. You won't hurt my feelings. I want to make something you will enjoy and actually use. :)
It's always crowded at this time of year!

Photographed during a visit to see Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, which is a famous rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. It spans 20 metres and is 30 metres above the rocks below. The island was originally used by salmon fishermen.
The Elkhart Conservation Club has many types of bird houses and nesting boxes, mostly made by scouts (Boy Scouts, Eagle Scouts, etc.)
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!😀

There were a few chicks when I visited Penguin Beach but they were all in the nesting holes. Hurrah for zoom!

Every time I go out for a drive and take the camera I always hope to get at least one image that I'm happy with. So yesterday I was driving around looking for anything of interest and I noticed about maybe 500 metres from me on private property was a tree with what I thought was an osprey at first at the top of it. Once I got the camera and long lens out I could see it was a whistling kite. I took a heap of shots fully focusing on the top left bird but a tree to my right kept blowing across the lens, I moved the car a bit and found I could get some better shots. Once I got home and downloading and went through them all I noticed that on a couple of the last shots I took there was a second bird, then I noticed it was a nesting pair. Shocked that I had only been concentrating on the one bird and missed the whole picture. Anyway I now know where they are and where to look in the future. don't think I will get much closer though. The first time I've seen a nesting pair.
I came across this beautiful swan on the banks of the River Ayr and I was pleased to be "way" above her - wouldn't want to be too close during this period of motherly love!!
52 in 2015 Challenge #49 A Bird ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
I added this photo a couple of days ago and after some negative comments that made me feel bad i decided to remove it, after explaining that i hadnt climb the tree or frighten the bird as i can see her and the nest clearly from my upstairs windows. Though i appreciate and understand there are people that would disturb the nest and scare away the birds, i have if anything kept an eye out for her. She has nested right near a pavement and can be seen clearly from the street, after many sleepness night chasing away neighbourhood cats , many a times climbing to the nest, the babies have now hatched, i will continue to look out for her and not made to feel bad, hence why im putting the photo back up.
The pair of California Gulls that were "kissing" yesterday are now building a nest on the sheltered leeward side of the breakwater.
He has brought in some new material to add to it.

This old windmill made a great nesting place for a bird of prey. Although there was no visible wildlife while photographing the Carrizo Plain area near dusk.

Isn't quite as crisp as I'd like but that's what happens with a 600mm equivalent handheld at f/6.7.
Wandering around Black River Marsh yesterday morning, my peace and quiet was disturbed by some non-stop honking. I discovered the source-a nesting pair of Canada geese who were strongly objecting to another pair attempting to invade their turf. Perhaps the newcomers had not seen the nesters hidden in the tall marsh grass. Conflict resolution was accomplished and all became peaceful once more. Sigh!
Some extra gifts for you Partner, two sizes nesting bowls made of some crazy/funny snowman fabric. I hope you like them, because it’s about time to wrap up the gifts and ship them.
If you don’t like them, that’s OK because I would not have a problem to keep them!
... are a curse in Canberra, imports that clearly compete for nest hollows with native species. There were two Myna nests and one Dollarbird in this small area, and I think the only reason the Dollarbird managed to score a hollow is because it might be even more pugnacious than the Mynas. I observed a couple of Galahs preparing a nest hollow recently, happily until a single Dollarbird zoomed up and told them both to POQ which they did without even putting up a fight. Dollarbirds must be tough in the bird world, even though immensely shy of humans.
Birds nesting on a remote rock. This was the first time I used my newls aquired 2x converter. It did a pretty neat job in combination with the 70-200.
Two years in a row now, we have spotted this loon, nesting right along the channel in a large marshy area. It's surprisingly brave of her, since this is a well-used waterway, not all that wide. But it won't be very busy until the end of June, and hopefully the chick will have hatched by then.
The Charadrius vociferus, also known as "Killdeer" is nesting within the grass. She never got up when I crawled up toward her, but kept a watchful eye. A bit late for nesting, but better late than never!
