nestled

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 20 May 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I've been a very busy girl. With the warm weather it was time to get out in the yard and get some work done. Had a wedding do to go to, which was a blast! And just needed to be outside in the warm weather. (ok, there may have been a bit of a hangover involved) Plus the conditional sale on our house has fallen through so I needed some time to pout... but am now ready to start this process over again. So whilst I was doing my yard work I discovered this nest and egg on the ground under a decorative sundial I have in a flower bed. Yes, this nest is UNDER the sundial (as I have it leaning against the edge of said flower bed). I had picked up the sundial so I could weed around it. I picked it up without noticing this nest as I was just moving it out of my way also thinking to put it somewhere else more aesthetically pleasing. It wasn't until I was down on all fours digging around that I noticed it. Sat back on my heals in wonder and awe, wondered what kind of bird (does anyone know???), then quickly ran into the house for the camera. And yes I did try to place the sundial back exactly as it was. I truly hope I didn't inadvertently disturb this to the point where the parents don't resume their quest.
