beak full of dried grass
sleek
young
frentic
building a nest
in the snake skin acer
her mate
older
a flash of deep blue
joins in her labours
twittering loudly
thier nest at ground level
concealed in the grass
art in the making
thier fledglings doomed

the ones from the ground level nest in my lawn
the family now tours my garden with a very panic ridden young mother bird calling if i get too close Lol
yeah they left the nest a little while ago, i started stumbling across them as a family group it is so lovely
it was very quick maturation i was surprised
but i guess its all in keeping with that they as a bird live a very fast life
