Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos
I just really liked this neat and comfortable looking nest. I was later surprised to find she was brooding nine chicks at the time.
No trip to Knepp Wildlands in the spring would be complete without seeing the White Storks on their nests. There are at least 5 breeding pairs on the estate this year including this one which is where the first pair bred a a couple of years ago. If you've never been before its well worth a visit, the habitat for birds is amazing.
Spring is here. A Magpie is working hard to collect nesting materials. ln the right light the feather of the Magpies will appear blue. Also, the nictitating membrane will appear kind of blue.

I know, another dandelion seedhead :) But I can't stop photographing them, and thought I'd try this one in black and white, something I rarely do.
Best viewed large!

It looks as though this greater coucal (centropus sinensis) is about to peck its way into a large fruit. Not true!! The bird was actually gathering nesting material by pulling off individual leaf fibres. Photographed in Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Thailand.
Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
Nesting on the Vic Uni Pond. Not so easy to see the nest this year.
We are having major internet problems, I don't even know if these images will upload. It will take me some time to catch up with your images. That will be after our ISP fixes the problem, it has been four hours thus far.
UK'S smallest bird was so lucky having a drink looked up and there he was busy working.Goldcrests are relatively common in Scotland with something like 750,000 individuals nesting here, and up to three million covering the country as far north as Shetland in winter. They’re hyperactive little birds that always seem to be on the move, flitting through woodland, feeding on small insects and seeds. You may have even seen them in your garden or local park.Goldcrests are tiny. They are England’s smallest bird, and are regarded as the smallest in the whole of Europe too. They only weigh, at most, about 6.5g which is the equivalent of holding a single 10 pence piece in your palm! But for such a minute species, goldcrests can be remarkably resilient and are one of the lightest birds in the world to migrate across the sea – moving from northern Europe to the UK in winter
This Ground Pigeon at the Maharajah Jungle Trek at Disney's Animal Kingdom is nesting while keeping a careful watch on all the visitors entering the area.
I went back to check on the nesting eagles...no sign of the eaglets but saw tip of a white head so knew one or more parents were there. As I took photos of the head tip, the adult started to fly....camera in right place at right time, wind blowing the leaves aside so I could get some good shots, a thrill.
I'll have to go back when the young are starting to fledge...maybe I'll get lucky again.
...interesting observation; the neighbors are so accustomed to them they don't pay any attention.
Enjoy the weekend, flickr friends....thanks for your visit...Pat...xo...

Some family health problems going on...
From a bird feeder in the backyard. There are 4 little blue eggs and so far 2 or 3 hatchlings! Roanoke Virginia. Photo taken with remote controlled shutter, while hiding behind a window so the bird is not disturbed while feeding the hatchlings.

As I watched I saw the Raccoon make several attempts at her eggs. In the end this protective Eagle, defended her nest. The DNR images are fun to watch.
Eagles can normally lay 2 to 3 eggs several days apart.
One of the holy grails for me in Costa Rica was to see Scarlet macaws (Ara macao) in the wild. These beautiful birds mate for life and are almost always seen in pairs. Here a pair are nesting in a tree cavity; if you look closely you can see the female at the bottom of the photo. Osa Peninsula.
