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.
Peaceful Doves, nesting in a ficus branch just above our main verandah steps. The parent attracted the young out of the nest and along the branch by feeding them away from the nest. This was a day or so before they left the nest.
Not a good shot at all. Pete - I won't have access to take any more photos for a couple of weeks, so I'm guessing they will be hatched by then. They are nesting in the frond of a Bismark palm and I was standing on tippytoes with my view finder flipped out just to get this. I hope I get shots of the chicks.
Set of 5 nesting boxes, old, dovetailed joints and painted or decaled figures on each side of each box.
There are literally more than 2 dozens of Great Blue Heron nests in Stanley Park. Those trees are like high rise buildings for them - one on top of each other and side by side. Just hate those branches but without them they won't even nest there. I guess that is nature. Below is the uncropped image to show you what I mean.
Ever since the sun came out a couple days ago, my brains sorta drained away with the melting snow and all I can think of is staying warm and cozy in my nest. Baileys [check], Vov [check], christmas candies and panettone [check, check] and a ton of cheese and salami [staples so never need to worry about checking].
The Black-Crowned Night-Herons nest in trees at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I went to see them today! It is pretty cool!
Oooh! A bird with nesting materials!
This is an exciting time of year. Just this morning, I snapped this photo of an American robin with mud and leaves, pausing before darting off toward a fresh nest site.
I love it when birds nest in my yard, but I recognize that, depending on the location, a nest can definitely derail plans for a few weeks. Nesting season means it's best to avoid trimming the trees and shrubs. And when there's a nest in my yard, I tend to watch the chick development closely and flush the yard before letting my dogs out in case we have nearby fledglings.
Malclm Ware, the Fife Recorder and I were out bird watching last weekend and we had a lovely time watching a pair of dippers nesting down the Lade Braes in St Andrews.
This set of nesting envelopes was a custom request for someone who saw one of my Tiny Envelopes ( www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=259342 ).
He wanted to know if it was mailable, because he thought it would be cute to send a tiny love note to his girlfriend. (The answer is no -- Tiny Envelopes are too small to mail. The minumum letter size is 3.5 x 5" to mail via USPS).
This was his solution: A set of progressively smaller envelopes, nested inside one another, with a tiny note inside the smallest one.
Smallest envelope is 2-inches square.
Laregest envelope is 5.75 x 4.25 inches.

This is the time of year when Oropendolas build their long hanging-basket nests in the trees. I flock picks out a suitable tree, in this case a Corotu tree and there can be as many as 40-50 nests in one tree.
As you can see these are large brightly colored birds, almost cartoonish in their contrasting colors.
July 31, 2010, 12:52pm: Mother Bare-Eyed Thrush (Turdus nudigenis) back in the nest, her underfeathers fluffed out to keep her newborn warm. Perhaps also in anticipation of the rain that would start some time later.
For the first time ever, a pair of robins built a nest in the maple tree. Crows were constantly trying to get into the maple tree, but the robins were vigilant and attacking the crows.
