At Newline yesterday, a mildly exciting find of nesting Brown Treecreepers. Here they are on top of their worryingly vertical hollow. I did manage to see them hand off food from the forager to the one inside the nest, but didn't manage to capture that moment, this time.
This subspecies (eastern race) is listed as vulnerable in NSW.
The other day bought a set of blank wooden nesting dolls that I got on sale at Michael's, my next project is to do my own paintings in them. Been working in my sketchbook creating different ideas for this project. Here is the strange bird family version.

A mother Victoria Crowned Pigeon feeds her baby in the nest. I was permitted to stay and take pictures but only for so long. I was hurried away by the mother as soon as the father had stepped in to watch over their young one.

We've been watching this wood thrush for the past week or so. She's pretty quiet in the beech tree until around 6 each evening when she breaks into song.
It's really hot on the beach for a Dotterel trying to keep her eggs warm.

Great Blue Heron nesting site. These gangly, giant birds just don't look right in delicate tree tops, but they make it work.

I've loved nesting dolls since I first saw my neighbour's set when I was young.
My dad went on a business trip to Belarus a few years ago, and brought me back these dolls.

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.
There are now three trees next to the river that contain nesting Lorikeets. This pair quite happily posed for pictures.
Curiously the base of this tree (and the other two nesting trees) were wrapped in heavy clear plastic sheets. I can only presume this is to discourage possums from climbing these trees while the birds are nesting.
This is the nesting area for the arctic tern in my home town. Binni is searching for young terns that are not started to fly yet to ring them. It can be hard to find them because they hid in the tall grass and in small holes that the terns make.
The parent terns always fly ower the nesting area to look out for unwanted visitors that might try to take or even eat the younger terns. When somone goes to close to the young terns they start flying closer and sometimes start hitting them with their beaks.
This is the third photo of a photoessay I made about artic tern ringing. I will post more in the next several days.
