We took the Loon nesting area signs down yesterday. It's been another successful year, one chick born and it's doing well.
I got SO MUCH ATTITUDE from the fam for not buying this bra-and-panty set. All I can say is that I couldn't imagine calmly trying on silly underwears while one of the ever-hovering salespeople was around. I am not as crazy buff as I would have to be to handle that situation with grace.
Plus, as was later pointed out, you have to buy at least three sets in escalating cup sizes to make the joke really work.
This is really amazing - there are 5 to 10 trees each with multiple nests. Seems like there was full occupancy, but I couldn't really tell.
I was delighted to catch a photo of this nesting swan at the local pond today - they usually do not nest this close to the shore path. Soon there will be families with their cygnets paddling around. Another sure sign of spring here...

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)
Night before GB arrived. We had been to the Obstetrician who said GeeBee was engaged, and there was a 94% chance she would arrive before she had to be induced the following week.
I went for 2 walks on the beach and we had a hot green curry for dinner. This photo was taken at 10pm when I decided that our bedroom drawers needed to be contacted! Needless to say, I started having my first contractions at 2am that night!!
This female blackbird is nesting on top of a light in a corridor to a row of council owned flats, near to my place of work, even at this time of year the light still comes on at dusk and off at dawn providing her with extra heat for the eggs.

This Black Headed Gull was one of many picking up nesting materials at Leighton Moss RSPB reserve recently.
We got very lucky. At 10 p.m. we started our trip to the beach to see the leatherback turtles nesting. Our guide told us to wait on the beach while he went to see if he can find any turtles nesting, and after waiting just around 15 minutes we suddenly saw a turtle coming out of the water right where we sat waiting for our guide! We had to stay quietly in the dark for about an hour while the turtle climb up the pretty steep beach pulling herself up with her front flippers, and then dug a deep hole in the sand with her back flippers. The guides warned us that we only can turn the lights on and take photos after the eggs start to come out, and all the light must come only from the back. Here is that very moment.

As luck would have it, my mother-in-law had a set of these!

A Masked Lapwing (Vanellus miles) sits on its eggs in an abandoned bowling green, Hamilton, Newcastle, Australia. It is quite aware of my presence about twenty metres away. Its partner is watching me intently and when I stand up it takes to the air and charges at me with the sharp spurs exposed on the extended wings.
