Malard Duck sitting on nest on 5 Eggs at the side of the path way at Martin Mere, Duck not interested or bothered by people walking within inches of the nest.
Sorry not my normal standard but did not have my dslr with me
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!
365/132 - Inspired by Katie Austin - runmomrun66 here on Flickr. I dug out my nesting dolls that I have had since I was a kid. I don't where I got them, I just always remember having them.
Two Drongos were taking turns on this nest but at times there were 4 birds in the tree. Maybe younger ones. There was the occasional set-to with lots of chattering and that aggressive feather display I call "the wolverine thing". I have a dim back shot of it somewhere here. I'll post it later.
It's at times like these I wish I had a 200mm lens.
We have starlings nesting in our guttering again this year. I was hoping to be able to get a glimpse of the babies, but the angle from the ground is just too great.
There's a duck currently nesting in my father's woodchip bed, just outside his door. The duck was away from the nest when I first began photographing.

This colony was a bit late with nesting this year and several nests still had eggs and recently hatched chicks.
All morning, the local tits had been checking out the nesting box outside our kitchen window. To get a photo without scaring the birds off, I set up my Canon S50 compact camera on a tripod, then used the camera's built in intervalometer to take one shot per minute and let it run automatically until the card was full.
Of the 100-odd shots taken, only four had birds on. I'll try the same set-up tomorrow, and see what I get.
Terrapins, like most turtles, remain calm while laying and are rarely bothered. Seeing that she was nesting, I approached her to take some photos, and unfortunately did end up disturbing her, for she had yet to begin the actual laying.
At the end of the Alte Donnau in Vienna, you find the water park of Floridsdorf, a quiet recreational area and also a aquatic bird refuge, like a heron nesting site on protected island. The first flowers, bushes and trees have started to bloom, spring is finally here with warm temperatures.
I really don't know what to call this. It's just wooden slats on an abandoned box car. One is broken out leaving splintered ends. The void left there was a convenient place for a wasp to do a little construction.
Chic, easy-access storage that looks great wherever it's needed. Metal; rustic finish. Set of 3; large (blue/brown; 17 1/4" diam. x 9 3/4" h), medium (green/brown; 15 3/4" diam. x 9 1/4" h) and small (brown/black; 13 1/2" diam. x 8 1/2" h). bit.ly/countrydoorfl_nestingbaskets
The nesting box in my mother's garden had a pair of bluetits last year. This year it's been claimed by a small colony of bees.
Another shot of the nesting herons. The quality is not very good because they were heavily silhouetted. I had to use everything photoshop could offer to make it viewable!! However because it shows the heron chicks it was worth it!
This nesting owl comes to the hole in the late afternoons and just looks around.I had owls nest in this box 3 -years ago,and we banded the female and 4 chicks.Will be interesting to see if its the same owl.
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.
The nesting platform in Burloak Park Lagoon just went out and the Grebes have started nesting. See next photo for close-up of Grebes. Cliff swallows in background near tree.
This is the time of year when Oropendolas build their long hanging-basket nests in the trees. I flock picks out a suitable tree, in this case a Corotu tree and there can be as many as 40-50 nests in one tree.
As you can see these are large brightly colored birds, almost cartoonish in their contrasting colors.
The great egret, about 100 cm (about 40 in) long, is the only species native to both America and Eurasia; it nests from southern Canada south throughout Central and South America and the West Indies, and widely in Eurasia from central Europe and Japan south to Africa and New Zealand.
