According to locals, it is rare to get anything but a fleeting glimpse of the purple-chested Wompoo Fruit-dove high in the rainforest canopy. Seeing this Mum on her nest in the forest surrounding the Kuranda Conservation Plant Nursery, far north Queensland was such a special gift.
Thank you to Garry Sankowsky for promoting this and other of my wildlife shots in his recently released book, "All About Garden Wildlife of Australia" newhollandpublishers.com/au/natural-history/2153-all-abou...

Stopped by Scioto Audubon to check on the Osprey nest and found one eating a fish. Meanwhile, just a mile or so south, Haul Road was teeming with activity as three or four osprey were building up the nest for this years brood!
Although it wasn't the right time of day to see a lot of birds at the Venice Rookery, there were a few nesting or coming and going.
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)
"Like so many others, I had become
a slave to the lkea nesting instinct.
Yes. I'd like to order the Erika Pekkari dust ruffles.
- Please hold.
- Anything clever, like a coffee table in the shape of a yin-yang, I had to have it.
The Klipsk personal office unit.
The Hovetrekke home exerbike.
Or the Ohamshab sofa with the Strinne green stripe pattern.
Even the Ryslampa wire lamps of environmentally-friendly unbleached paper.
I'd flip through catalogues and wonder
"What kind of dining set defines me as a person?"
I had it all. Even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof that they were crafted by the honest, hard-working, indigenous peoples of...
- Please hold.
...wherever.

This large blue bird is a slightly ungainly flyer. It slowly walked all the way along the path, past many tourists, only to jump to its nesting mate at the very top.

Rainbow lorikeets are starting to nest very early this year, it's still the middle of winter.

Out a walk and came across this little lady, happily sitting there she did not seem to mind me at all. I was very careful not to disturb her. I turned my camera around as I saw another swan approaching fast. see 1st comment.

I found this pair of merlins while walking along Lake Champlain near Burlington Vermont. They are nesting high in a tree on the edge of the forest. The tree stands alone on a sandy beach. They were making a lot of noise, otherwise I would never have seen them.

My cat Bonny in among the honeysuckle and climbing rose branches on top of the rustic arch in my garden.
She didn't look very comfortable but she stayed there for a couple of hours in the heat of the day!

I was taking photographs of the berries on the Spindle Tree and suddenly realised I was been watched by this pigeon nesting at head height.
Though I do not click nesting pictures as a rule this is quite different since this is away from possible predator reach and is quite visible to all from afar
A look around the Somerset Levels today was rewarded with the following Nesting Birds
1. Cormorants at Canada Farm
2. Grey Herons at Swell Wood
3. Rooks at Burrowbridge
On our hike, we spotted an osprey nest built on a dead tree. Mom was in there keeping the babies warm. For scale - this is a BIG bird, wingspan is 5-6 feet!
This was special because we're usually looking UP at their nests, seeing one from above is a treat.
(I took another photo later in the day, shows scale a bit better)
Not a common site. A nesting pigeon.
Hopefully, I can get a shot of her chick, which would be a real rarity!

A Long-billed Corella contemplates a plethora of nesting holes on Gunbower Island in northern Victoria. It turns out Gunbower is Australia's largest inland island, covering over 25,000 hectares (mostly State Forrest) between the banks of the Murray river and Gunbower creek.
Pair of Black-collared Starlings saw also at the construction site near my office.
Very noisy and always move in group.
Just like their lovely yellow eye-cover.
