I made a set of nesting boxes for BCO craft swap project. I designed patterns and printed them on colored papers which I used to cover the lids. Used chipboard under the printed papers for the tops, and used mat board for the bottoms. I cut strips of kraft paper and glued them over all seams, inside and out, for extra strength and neatness.
Came home this afternoon to discover that someone had been trying to build a nest above my backdoor - without much success, thus the mess.
We are all in constant dialogue with the universe (whether we're aware of it or not.) Signs, symbols, and synchronicities abound. I get love notes and secret messages all the time. Not sure whether this is the former or the latter. In any case, I am paying attention. What next?
Superstitions in many cultures consider a bird's nest on/in one's house to be very lucky. I'll take all the good fortune I can get, however, I think the message here may be more complex than about just plain luck.
We put up this box last Autumn. The Blue Tits had previously nested in the cavity wall, (entering through a small hole near an overflow pipe) When we had cavity wall insulation decided that alternative accomodation was required, seems it may be considered suitable!

two years later, a finished set of nesting boxes... no longer appropriate for the 18-month old, but perfect for visiting 7-month old girls!
Just outside the bedroom window, near where I often sit at my computer desk, a robin began building a nest in late April. It seemed a foolish place to nest, for the tree is small and stands close to the front door of our condo building. By the end of April the nest was finished and the robin began nesting in earnest. If the babies arrive safely, we should have a ringside seat to enjoy their antics.
A Nesting Swan along the cut to Geldeston, the male swan likes to see off every boat that passes, which can be rather intimidating for canoeists!

One of the nesting boxes set up for the Purple Martins at Chambers Creek Properties has not held up well.
6/9/15: In case anyone wants to pursue pictures of our Purple Martins, I feel like I need to provide a quick warning. The Bridge to the Beach is currently closed. I reached the nesting area via an inflatable kayak. From June 14-22, even boat access will be prohibited.
This Shag has been gathering seaweed as a nesting material. Seen at the Butt of Lewis, Outer Hebrides.
From our bed we have a view of neglected woodland which is a wonderful source of nesting material for the local birds. We have often seen magpies tugging small branches out of the tangle of vegetation out there, but this morning I was thrilled to see Mr & Mrs Bullfinch scavenging. Here is Mrs, but I didn't manage to catch her with her slender twiglet in her beak.
