Each spring that we have lived in this house I worry that there will be no nests in our birdhouses. But then the barn swallows show up, fashionably late.

My dream is to have bluebirds nesting here but I appreciate all of the bug eating that the swallows do. And I like watching them fly.

A Great Blue Heron takes off with a twig to add to the nest s/he is building close by.

it was lovely sight to see loads of nesting Egrets & Herons at a distance. Lot of flying and pretty birds around... also noisy gulls..

We went fishing at Turner Pond and found this little lady nesting at the water's edge. While I tried not to get too close, I zoomed in and shot about 30 pictures of her at different angles. I never knew that geese will actually hiss like cats when they feel threatened! I'm lucky not to have been wing-slapped by her or her mate who was swimming nearby. Eventually, she went for a swim in the lake, and we saw four big goose eggs in the nest.

fall leaves, wasp is nesting in it

This was actually one of my last year's photo's, but I am posting it again to highlight an issue very dear to my heart. With many thanks to my dear friend Sastro who has really helped to hammer the point home. mypoole.blogspot.com/

After seeing Irina Troitskaya's nesting dolls a year ago, I have been wanting to do some Wee Gallery ones. Finally made a set a couple of days ago. It was difficult! Makes me respect her amazing work even more!

Western Painted Turtle nesting in our driveway.

November is Spring in the Southern Hemisphere, so everyone is busy building nests

(I'm not sure what the bird is - any suggestions?)

If anyone can help to identify the bird, I would appreciate. :D

This female blackbird is nesting a few feet from the bin area at Christmas Hall in Bildeston, Suffolk. It didn't seem bothered by the comings and goings.

I used 4.5 gallon buckets for nesting boxes. I have heard they are easy to clean, and the chickens like the confined space.

OK, I admit this photograph isn't going to win any prizes on it's photographic merit, but I decided to add it to my stream anyway because the Kittiwake is my favourite species of gull. The Kittiwake spends most of it's life out at sea, only returning to land to breed. If you listen to their call you will hear why they are called Kittiwakes, as they repeat their name over and over. I look forward to visiting this breeding colony each year and am always amazed how each pair manages to raise a chick on such a tiny ledge. Unfortunately this was the closest I could get with either of my cameras - can't wait till I get a DSLR and longer lens...!!

Thank you for taking the time to view my photographs.

My first set of nesting dolls.

We found this Northern Map Turtle in the process of digging her nest. It was a pretty good sized female, she was very heavy cause she was full of eggs.

There are two of these birds nesting under my deck. I do not know if there are 1 or two chicks in their nest. It was quite active since I was near its nest but my back yard is not all that big.

We are lucky enough to have two pairs of nesting blue tits this year..
