Perspective. This is at 100mm from the ground. This is about twice the zoom that the human eye has. So imagine this shot in half size, and thats how you see them from the ground.
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)

This Black Headed Gull was one of many picking up nesting materials at Leighton Moss RSPB reserve recently.
And I wasn't the only slave to my nesting instinct. The people I know who used to sit in the bathroom with pornography, now they sit in the bathroom with their IKEA furniture catalogue. ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 5

The original pattern is just for the largest doll. I thought it might be more fun to do them as a chain, so I made the pattern 2 sizes smaller for the 2 additional dolls. i also sort of screwed up and glued the faces on instead of sewing them inside of the hood. I don't like it as well, I don't think, but I have to admit it would've been hard to cut the pieces for the smallest doll if I had tried to put the face underneath the hood...
Original Pattern from "Fa La La La Felt" by Amanda Carestio.

Nesting boxes as sculpture. I'm so impressed that some enlightened body has installed this mini metropolis for birds in Duncan Terrace Garden in Islington.
