I seem to be on a bird roll here. This killdeer was practicing nesting among rocks at the fish hatchery the other day. I almost stepped on her! Glad someone else was watching out for her . . . and me . . and shouted out at the last second.

These are based on the five favorite countries of the recipient of these dolls. I doubt it needs to be said, but by no means do I think everyone in these countries wear what is depicted. In fact, I think Denmark is actually based on a picture of a Norwegian.

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.
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.
