These Kittiwakes were nesting under the bridges over the Tyne at Newcastle, and on the ledges by the Hotels in the area too. Lovely to hear and see them....

On May 3, 2013, PSE crews, with help from Potelco, installed a new nesting pole in Ellensburg to provide a safe location for a couple of osprey to build their nest. With the ospreys building their nest on this new pole, they will avoid a possible dangerous situation and any associated power outages.

This American Robin (or "Rouge Gorge" in French) has a nest in the tree on our front lawn.
A couple of weeks ago, I was doing Spring inspection of our lawn and noticed a tiny light blue Robin's egg on the ground so I think it was a fatality of this nest.
Yesterday, I was sitting outside with my camera waiting for birds to come to the tree and suddenly 3 Grackles showed up. The Grackles made a lot of loud noise and were trying to get at this nest in the tree. The pair of nesting Robins rallied and chased away the Grackles successfully.
Today I went looking for the nest, spotted it, and managed to get this shot of one of the adult pair incubating the remaining eggs.
This nest is not very far from the Starling nest in the eaves of my neighbour's house. The Starlings sometime visit this tree, but I've noticed that the Starlings always seem to be chasing away other Starlings who try to get into their own nest.
The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape (also Lednice-Valtice Area or Lednice-Valtice Complex, Czech: Lednicko-valtický areál) is a cultural-natural complex of 283,09 km² in the Czech Republic, South Moravian Region, close to Břeclav and Mikulov.
The Lednice-Valtice Area is registered in the list of monuments protected as World Heritage by UNESCO next to another site – Pálava Landscape Protected Area, registered by UNESCO only a few years prior to the nearby Pálava Biosphere Reserve. Such close proximity of two landscape systems protected by UNESCO is world-unique.
At the end of the 18th century, the local manor lordship – the House of Liechtenstein – began to create a unique manmade landscape complex: The Lednice – Valtice Area. During the 19th century, the Liechtenstein family continued transforming the area, which has since been called the "Garden of Europe", into a large landscape park with two centres: Valtice Castle (and contiguous town) and Lednice Castle (and contiguous village).
Lednice is the best-known tourist destination in south Moravia. All roads in the Chateau park lead to the Minaret. The gallery, 60 metres high, provides a view of the entire Garden of Europe. It is easy to see from this point the magnificent Pálava Hills and Malé Karpaty Mountains, when weather allows. The whole Lednice-Valtice Area shows many other sightseeings as middle-age castle imitations like Janohrad, the empire temple Apollónův chrám, the classic salet Tři Grácie, and the classic castle Rybniční zámeček. All of these sightseeings are connected by a network of bike roads located in wooded area.

Did spend a nice summer weekend in the south Moravia, once more enjoying Pálava region and the area around Lednice - it is truly one of the most beautiful parts of the Czech republic.
This unconventional but highly creative and opportunistic nesting site was chosen by a pair of pigeons. They had built their nest in the men's urinal in the Frenchmen Valley Campground in Grasslands National Park. Their nest wasn't successful. They had abandoned it prior to my discovery as the eggs were stone cold. This photograph was taken on the same day that the wildfire burned through the park.
I found their nest very endearing. We had seen them hanging about the bathroom a week or so prior to the discovery.

We spotted this common nighthawk sitting on its nest at Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge in Minnesota. These ground nesters will incubate two eggs for 16-20 days. After 17-18 additional days, young are ready to venture out!

Then to end a great morning in the park I watched this heron fly back and forth to his/her nest with more nesting materials. I also spent time here talking with a wonderful couple from up north about cameras, birds, travel, and the wonderful life of being retired.
Great set of nesting tables newly made in the vintage industrial style. One side is open and one fully metal; they can be arranged a number of ways...
I do not normally photograph nesting birds for two reasons.
1.The risk of disturbance and therefore abandonment
2.The risk of disclosure to others.
However, while walking along the River Exe, I came across this Dipper’s nest, in a very public place and spent two fabulous hours watching, from a considerable distance, these birds. The weir was visited by a number of people during which the Dippers did not visit the nest. However, most people only spent a few minutes in the vicinity of the nest and the Dippers resumed feeding as soon as they had gone.

This is my first photo of this elusive sprite. There were a pair of them busily gathering nesting material (moss). Sorry for the poor quality. I sat and waited by their nest for about an hour yesterday trying to get a clear shot, but as you can see, clear shots had become quite a thorny issue for me.
Matryoshka dolls -- Russian nesting dolls -- in a shop window. (I think there are 65 of them.) We strolled the Rue Bonaparte and the Rue Jacob, looking into (and occasionally going into) the great variety of shops there.
