Bird's nest

I found yet another, stunning bird's nest this week.

It was lying to the side of the road when I walked the dogs. It looked like a clump of cut, dried grass. It caught my eye for some reason and I wondered. I almost kept going, but I felt drawn to check.
Oh, it is so delicate. Just cut, dried grass wound around and around.

It is delicate and divine.

Somewhere along the line I have developed a knack for finding them. I think this makes 7 or 8. I would like to display them one day. I have a glass case with tiny turned timber pedestals in mind.  In the meantime they are in plastic boxes to keep them safe.

Here's a link, and another to photos of some of the others in my collection.

Bird's nest find

I found a beatiful bird's nest laying on the ground under a tree.  It is by far the biggest I have found. Isn't it beautiful?

Bird nests

I have a growing collection of birds nests. 

 I found this beauty lying on the ground when the power company trimmed trees growing under their lines.

 It is a very warm nest with a feather lining and half an egg shell.

 The simplest of my bird nests with some moss and paper streamers to add a touch of class.

 This was also found on the ground under some trees. I was collecting pine cones when I spottted it.

 The most luxurious nest made almost completely from feathers.  I found this on the ground in front of a building so have always wondered where it fell from.  This is the first nest I found.

 This nest is made from tiny twigs with lichen and lined with hair. It is the most tightly wound.

 And this darling little nest I found just recently when weeding my front garden. It probably came down when the tree dropped its leaves. I never knew it was hidden there.
