This little Blue Tit moves so fast - even with a big beak full of nesting material - it was hard to get a good shot! Our neighbour's have a couple of nesting boxes in their garden which have been used successfully by the Tits in previous years. I managed to get this zoom shot before the bird disappeared - as fast as lightning - over the fence.
Cloudy day today with just the occasional 2 seconds of sun every now and again. The forecast for the week ahead for the UK is set fair - even may go from warm to hot and sunny - Yay. Have a good week all xxx
Two of the three nesting islands found in Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). View from the southeast. Chase Lake NWR is home not only to one of the largest nesting colonies of American White Pelicans but also to North Dakota's largest mixed-species waterbird colony.

As I was standing looking out the back window into the Garden I saw this Hummingbird keep flying into the pear tree, and not coming back out. So I grabbed my camera and zoomed in on the tree to discover the hummingbird was sitting on a nest .Excellent surprise :0)... I took these pictures from in the house looking out the window so I wouldn't disturb the bird.... Hope you enjoy her as much as I did.
A mating pair of Great Egrets work on building a nest at Gatorland Park in Orlando, Florida. Gatorland is an excellent place to watch and photograph wild nesting birds doing their thing. Time it right and you'll also get to see them raising their young. I was too early in the season on this trip to see that.

Little Birdie is tearing strips of paper and tucking them into her tail for nesting material. Lovebirds are the only parrots who do this.

Shot has been taken with old soviet MTO-500 500mm f/8 lens.
I should say that shooting with non-AFheavy non-stabilized piece of glass is a kind of quest (=
Two ladies my wife knew from teaching ages back passed by with their dogs and (keeping a safe distance) said that this nesting site was not a good one; far too accessible for dogs and foxes.
ODC-Nest or Nesting
Whenever you buy a new home you get a few surprises. I went looking for a birds nest this morning and found this under the little shelter next to our barn/shed in the backyard. The huge carpenter bees were crawling in and out of the holes. The female bees lay their eggs in the holes. This will definitely have to be addressed in the fall.
“Far from the city's dust and heat,
I get but sounds and odors sweet.
Who can wonder I love to stay,
Week after week, here hidden away,
In this sly nook that I love the best --
This little brown house like a ground-bird's nest?”

I spent a short time this morning back out at the Flicker nesting site. I was lucky to observe both the male and female taking turns tending to the young hidden inside. Here the male is removing a fecal sac from the nest.
A set of atomic nesting tables that are boomerang shape, perfect height for resting a cup of coffee/tea!
Russian (or Chinese) nesting ninjas! Completely awesome Christmas present... and don't think I didn't find the sly message inside the smallest one!
One of a pair of Blue Tits which made use of a nest box in our garden is pictured at the entrance to the nest box.
Osprey
The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) — also called fish eagle, sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk — is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
As its other common names suggest, the osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It possesses specialised physical characteristics and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion and family, Pandionidae. Four subspecies are usually recognized, one of which has recently been given full species status (see below). Despite its propensity to nest near water, the osprey is not classed as a sea eagle.
