The front of the house had to be bumped out to accomodate our chickens and a nesting box was added. No laying yet but they sleep in their nesting box, not on the roosting poles. Ugh!

A pair of willy wagtails spent several days working from dawn till dusk, trying to build a nest between the light and the beam (which I can now see needs a good wash). However, the gap was too wide, and all their nesting material kept falling through. Finally, they decided to relocate.
Notice the distinctive white eyebrows and whisker marks
I'm pretty sure that this Eagle is "Bonnie" carrying fluff to the nest... I think that "Clyde's" beak is more curved at the tip than hers. Also, when she dropped it off at the nest and tried to place it around, "Dad, (the carpenter of the family)" "beaked" her until she gave up and moved away from it?
* sorry for the overall clarity of this image..300 yards + harsh light = ;[
The blackbirds are nest building in the holly tree next to the hedge at the bottom of our garden.. I could only get the silhouette because I was looking up at the sun..
We saw our first Speckled Pigeons of the trip right around the camp at Golden Gate. They were very common later on, in the Western Cape region.
This one was nesting under the awning of the building next to ours, and constantly made a hooting call.

During the summer of 2010 and again during the summer of 2011, The City of Kitchener will be studying turtles in natural areas across the City.
The main study locations for this project are the Huron Natural Area, Laurentian Wetland and Lakeside Park. Our project involves catching turtles and recording information about their age, sex and health as well as gently notching (putting a mark) their shells so that we can identify them when we catch them at a later time.
We are also working with a dedicated group of volunteers who are helping to monitor turtles in different natural areas. These volunteers are helping us to learn more about where and when turtles are nesting (digging holes to lay eggs) as well as whether the eggs are hatching and the young turtles are able to make it to the ponds safely. We have also started to protect some turtle nests from predators!
We will be sharing information about our project with people all across the City so watch for information about upcoming presentations and events on Kitchener’s Natural Areas website at www.kitchener.ca/knap.
Thank-you to the City of Kitchener Local Environmental Action Fund (LEAF), Region of Waterloo Environmental Stewardship Fund and TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for supporting this project!
At Nugget Point in The Catlins, southern New Zealand, you walk along a high cliff towards the Nugget Point lighthouse. Looking over the cliff you often see sealions. This time I saw Royal Spoonbill (the white spots dotted over the rock) nesting on this rock way below the cliff They have chosen some precarious situations to nest on.

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.

(Thank you, Buckeye. for confirming the ID!)

Herring Gull (Larus argentatus). St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. June 21st, 2014.
Normally I avoid nesting birds. However, I was taking geology photos and didn't notice the bird until I was close enough that it gave me a warning call. Since I was already that close I took this snap and went on my way.

I made these nesting dolls using my Cricut and the Paisley cartridge. They range in size from 3 1/2 inches to 2 inches.
As a result of the slight relaxation of the StayatHome guidelines, I have been taking the opportunity to have a few day trips to locations that I hope wouldn't be too busy with other people. One such place is the Blackdown Hills and in particular where a few new clearings were created last year. I was watching Spotted Flycatchers when I noticed a Treecreeper returning to the same old tree. Then I realised that it was nesting behind the bark only a few inches off the ground. I have enjoyed watching the adults making repeated visits with all manner on insects. That is probably it for now as I do not wish to disturb the birds. All images taken from a very safe distance.
