One of my favorite birds to photograph and watch. Avocets are of beautiful coloration, I love their calls, and they are quite active wading birds. I was able to sneak up on this one while she was sitting on her nest. It is remarkable how well they blend in with the ground and backgrounds they choose to make thier nests. All rights reserved.

You can just about see the second of the pair, they are nesting on the roof of the centre at El Acebuche.

I believe this is the same swan on this little pond that had the same nesting spot last year, unfortunately, that nest was abandoned with two eggs in it, lets hope she has better luck this year.

Mixed nesting aggregation of Andrena vaga (Hym. Andrenidae) and Colletes cunicularius (Hym. Colletidae), 2.iv.2010, Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium.

The woodpecker snag we checked out turned out to have two species nesting in the same snag. Here we see both species ready to deliver food to the young in the nest. The female American Kestrel on the left occupied the topmost cavity in the snag facing away from the Thompson River; while the Lewis's Woodpecker on the right occupied a cavity halfway down the side facing the river. Both are feeding their young grasshoppers. The kestrel would deliver food while we were watching but the woodpecker would not so we did not stay long. Spences Bridge, BC. July 16, 2015.

Just after the Midwich Kittens arrived, Esk nesting. I presume it's because (a) sitting in a pluth netht is comfortable and (b) because she Wants To, as it's impossible to imagine a less maternal cat than she.

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.

This is a DIY for the chickens nesting boxes. My design, Robert and Stuart built it. Made from 1 1/2 planting buckets from the garden nursery. Cut one in half and screwed into the other. Added a wood foot to stabilize it.

Fulmar, known as mallimack in Orkney dialect, (fulmarus glacialis) nesting on the cliffs beside The Gloup - a collapsed sea cave. These birds have an unusual form of defence - they vomit a foul smelling oil.

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!

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...!!

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

The electric company has put up a number of these nesting boxes right in the area we call "hawk alley".

What a great job they are doing!

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