Nests in all shapes and sizes

complete with Willy Wagtail

like this one





Magpie Lark (aka Pee-Wee)

 found attached to a bicycle that had been stored, in a farm-shed.  Seems the bird/s have built upon the same nest perhaps over successive years.



from a previous post that included the Olive-backed Oriole; she had been doing the final finishing touches of weaving around the top edges of this nest

and finally, the beautiful little Jacky Winter in such a weeny nest.

  6. Among the most incredible nests in the avian world are those of the various weaver birds - and once you find them it's both easy and fascinating to watch the birds engaged in construction. Interesting subject for a blog post Carole.

  9. This is neat. Don't think anyone has ever focused on nests before. Nests are an amazing creation by birds. Think if we had to construct a nest from sticks and twigs. It wouldn't look as nice as the bird's.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
