Shags nesting on the cliffs at Butt of Lewis, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. Easy to think of these birds as being a plain black, but there is a lot of texture and detail in their glossy, green-black feathers.
Can't beat that for a background! The nest must be inside the azalea, as the bird surveyed the area to make sure it was unobserved by predators before popping in with the twig. Note the brood patch on the breast -- I've rarely seen such a marked one.
It says here in the book that the male usually builds the stick nest and that only the female incubates. Tell that to the bird! It must be a female with a brood patch like that, but there it is with a twig.

Another shot from Bornholm, I'm not really sure what is going on here. On the face of it, its rather lovely to see so many nest boxes in a tree...but what is that rope for?

Another photo of the nesting green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) from the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, like I said in my previous photo these turtles eggs are extremely vulnerable to nest predation and poaching and infact this turtles eggs were poached before she had even made it back to the ocean.
EDIT: Turns out this is actually a olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea)! Which is pretty exciting since then this is the first and so far only one of these I have seen. This is a wide ranging species and is found throughout much of the worlds oceans but population levels have dropped from historic levels.

One of the wetlands that I frequent has a nesting pair of Soras. I probably would never have found her without help from one of my friends and contacts Nathan - his website pwtphotography.com/ - thanks Nathan. She was not disturbed as I used a long lens and teleconverter and you will see for yourself in the images that follow. She would get up, have a bite and return to her nest, I stayed a short while even though she didn't seem to notice me, you just never know. Unfortunately the sun was on the wrong side, it was windy so the reed grass in front kept blocking my camera - but how often do you get to see a sora this close going about her business. The grass in front of her will soon be very high - I would love to go back to see her babies, but I think they will be impossible to see by then. They incubate the eggs for 18-20 days.

Collections from this Box will will now be suspended for a three month period until Monday15th July 2013.
We happened across this pair of nesting Killdeer Plovers and their emerging family while exploring one of Victoria's many oceanside parks. If you look closely you will see a new chick in the grass in front of the adults and an egg under the adult in the foreground. These are the characters that fake a broken wing to draw predators away from their nest.
April 9, 2006. It looked like a pair of mourning doves were ready to set up house in one of my hanging planters today. They hung out for several hours, but I think they eventually decided there was too much activity going on for their comfort and abandoned the pot.
Getting shuteye after I scared off the crows. These owls, I am told, will eat lots of gophers. Gophers we have too many of; owls not enough.
Unless you've seen this model before it is mine (any help, as usual, is welcome)... nesting crane folded by accident and developed for a "nesting" friend :-D I called it "nesting crane", beacause I was inspired by her watermellon belly.

No diagram available... sorry no time at the moment.... but if this model is mine I will try to draw something.... have a wonderful everything!!! :-D
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
This charming display takes place when the nesting pair come together at the end of the day, or when one mate returns to the nest.

For the first time ever, a pair of robins built a nest in the maple tree. Crows were constantly trying to get into the maple tree, but the robins were vigilant and attacking the crows.
I made something and I know it will never sell in my store, nor will I ever use it. Shall I do a little lottery or something? Anyone want to win this www.flickr.com/photos/ingermaaike2/4192887782/
What would you do with it? The one writing the most fun comment will have it :-D
DSC_3925: Nesting Osprey on July 3rd, 2014 at Grand Lake, New Brunswick. I spent about 30 minutes taking pics and videos of this very cooperative subject on her nest today. She wasn't afraid of me at all, and just sat on top of her nest brooding over her young one.

Our two remaining Eastern bluebirds are very busy making their nest. They are occupying the same box from last year. I guess they like the location!
