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.
I enjoy a relaxing day just to spend time in nature observing the Great Blue Herons interacting with each other during nesting season. Prints available at DaleKincaid.com.

A set of easy to inspect tray-style nesting boxes designed by Gord Hutchings of Hutchings Bee Services and built by Dan Keane from the Saginaw Conservation District. They are installed at MSU’s Horticultural Gardens and can be seen at the fourth annual MSU Bee Palooza. Photo: Ben Phillips, MSU Extension
Very creative, and might be on the birds' Christmas present list, but none of these would suit our blue garden.
This is the inside of a set of Russian Nesting Dolls. It is wooden but looks like terra cotta in the picture.
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!
Osprey Nesting - Female Osprey in flight gathers additional nesting material for the already impressive nest that the couple has built during the Spring.

For a while my evenings have been all about herons, owls and dippers along with anything else that presents itself around the river and canal.
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.

This series of photographs were all taken at Cape St. Marys in Newfoundland. This is the home of a magnificent birding reserve that is the nesting grounds for the Northern Gannet, Razorbills, Kittiwakes & Common Murres. If you are into birding and photography, put this place on your bucket list!
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.
