While walking along a river bank I happen to come across this nicely camouflaged duck nesting inside the hollow trunk of a tree. She didn’t seem to mind the crowd and the music being played by a band nearby. Not many people actually noticed her. A couple came by to look at what I was shooting and was pleasantly surprised to see the duck.
This is an addition to the Jaipur set. Looks very similar to the chipmunks we have in North America, though I don't know what species this actually is. Is this nesting material or is she rushing home to try on a new dress??

Leaps of preparations for Sisters Academy - The Takeover in Copenhagen
Calls for residencies will open soon.
I think my cat ate one of them the other day but this one is still being fed by its mummy. So i may find his gizzards on my floor soon . Can't stop nature i suppose. I have had the nesting box up for about 5 years and this is the first evidence that someone lives there. I will pop in soon to get them to sign the lease or they can bugger off.
I played with my scraps and received two scrappy panels. I turned them into a nesting bowl. I loved playing with my scraps and used some precious fabric for the inside. Outside essex yarn dyed linen.
These Carlyle style nesting tables, were custom made to coordinate with another table in the next picture.
The large table measures 18"W x 26"D x 25"H and the small table measures 12"W x 20"D x 20"H.
All two toned in Elm/Asbury for the tops, and Brown Maple/Black for the rest.
Juvenile Grey Heron on nest in Swartvlei Estuary - Sedgefield..
The Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea), is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa.
It is a large bird, standing 90-100 cm tall, with a 175-195 cm wingspan and a weight of 1-2 kg. Its plumage is largely grey above, and off-white below. Adults have a white head with a broad black supercilium and slender crest, while immatures have a dull grey head. It has a powerful pinkish-yellow bill, which is brighter in breeding adults. It has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes and spoonbills, which extend their necks.
This species breeds in colonies in trees close to lakes, the sea-shore or other wetlands, although it will also nest in reed beds. It builds a bulky stick nest.
It feeds in shallow water, catching fish or frogs with its long bill. Herons will also take small mammals and birds. It will often wait motionless for prey, or slowly stalk its victim.

Russian Nesting Dolls.
ODC Group 1: 12/14/2011: Hollow.
I have always loved nesting dolls.
Some background on nesting dolls from Wikapedia:
A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure which separates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on. The number of nested figures is traditionally at least five, but can be much more, up to several dozen with sufficiently fine craftsmanship. The form is approximately cylindrical and hollow, with a rounded top for the head, tapering toward the bottom, with little or no protruding features; the dolls have no hands (except those that are painted). The artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be extremely elaborate.
The first Russian nested doll set was carved in 1890 by Vasily Zvyozdochkin from a design by Sergey Malyutin, who was a folk crafts painter in the Abramtsevo estate of the Russian industrialist and patron of arts Savva Mamontov.[2][3] The doll set was painted by Malyutin and consisted of eight dolls—the outermost was a girl holding a rooster wearing a traditional dress. The inner dolls were girls and a boy, and the innermost a baby.[2]
Matryoshka dolls are often designed to follow a particular theme, for instance peasant girls in traditional dress, but the theme can be anything, from fairy tale characters to Soviet leaders.
She has decided to build her nest in the tree just outside the spare bedroom window where i have the p.c.
This was taken earlier in the spring at the "savage lands" at one point we counted 32 Great Blue Heron sitting and nesting in the tree tops!!
The old nesting boxes had a lid that opened up from the top, so if there were chickens in there (and there were frequently more than one in a box at a time, it was hard to get the eggs out.
I found the dry lavandula
I felt the sensation of nesting
I picked up the leaves and the hedera
I reaped the rose fruit
I made the liquidambar leaves branch
I composed the nest
I photographed
And in the end it flew away...
Our mornings are filled with trips to the chicken coop to gather eggs from our lovely hens. It is not unusual to find one of each breed in the homemade nesting boxes.

A quick photo of a nesting doll that I'm working on. It isn't finished, but thought I'd share anyways. I'm also organizing a nesting doll exchange. More details here.
Rip Rap Islands serve as crucial nesting ground for seabirds near the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel in coastal Virginia. Currently, species that rely on the island include the royal tern, common tern, gull-billed tern, sandwich tern, herring gull, laughing gull, great black-backed gull, black skimmer, and snowy egret.
For decades before the expansion of the HRBT, two artificial islands anchored the underwater tunnels and housed the large colony of seabirds. The construction made these islands unsuitable nesting grounds.
In February 2020, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam tasked the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources with relocating the colony. A quick yet massive renovation of Fort Wool, a Civil War-era military installment built in 1819, transformed Rip Rap Islands into a landscape for the seabird colony similar to the barrier islands. Along with Fort Wool, DWR leased three flat-top barges to create additional habitat next to Rip Rap Islands for the birds to nest. July 15, 2021 (Photo by Aileen Devlin | Virginia Sea Grant)
