Well sadly the family of birds have flown the nest before we could take a photo.Marcel had to climb a tree to take the photo of the nest and the Mother bird sitting on the eggs. If you look closely you can see her there, she blends in well with the house.
As it is on the second floor of our house and please excuse the cobweb, that you can see.
Note to self, get the ladder and take down the nest and clean the windows and cobwebs.
I went out to get the mail yesterday and I saw three tiny birds flying about in the trees tweeting and chirping. What I think it tells me, you do need to take photos when you get the chance.
I was delighted to receive this sweet blog award from Marsha ofSassyminidolls.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteHappy Wed. to you!
Hi Carolyn, the photo you do have of the empty nest is lovely. I never would've noticed the cobweb had you not said anything about it! It only adds to the outdoor charm, LOL!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award!
I was laughing we are all so funny.
ReplyDeleteWhen you said about the cobweb, I never even noticed it.
xoxox
Congrats on that award. They are always so much fun! I loved your lil nest too~
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn~ That is the prettiest nest! I don't think I could take it down. ~Mandy (I appreciate your kind thoughts. I am doing well.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great win from Fifi. You lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is definitely an award winning one. And don't mind those cobwebs, they look just like mine.lol
Hugs,
June
Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and I am glad that someone else has cobwebs ~ I do not like spiders either.
Hi Sares,
Lovely to hear from you, many thanks.
Hi Charity,
I was sad that we had not taken a photo before they left.
The Mother bird was so cute and quiet, getting worms and bugs from the garden and right near to where I was standing.
thank you dear Ni, always great to have a visit from you.
Hi Koralee,
It is a great book and to have the illustrations drawn by Fifi, and signed by her, makes it even more special.
Hi TattingChic,
Oh no the nest is not empty, take another look and the bird is sitting on the nest.
Hi Renee,
I know the cobweb is there and thought just in case others noticed I would face up that I had not been doing my cleaning.
Thank you Susie and lovely to hear from you.
Hi Mandy,
I probably will leave the nest up there as it might be good for another year and another new family?
Hi June,
Many thanks for visiting and yes, cobwebs do seem to come back just after you have cleaned them off.
Oh well, nevermind.
I was, lucky to win the book from Fifi.
Hugs
Carolyn
I love that picture of the birdie sitting on her tidy nest. Doesn't it make you feel so good watching and waiting for the babies?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Carolyn.
Sharon :-)
Hi Sharon,
ReplyDeleteIt was fun watching the bird sitting patiently on the eggs and only going to get some food for herself.
Then when the baby birds hatched she would get something for them to eat and look after them.
Hugs
Carolyn
Congratulations to your award, you deserve it so much! And thanks for sharing the birds-pictures! It is so nice to see spring-photos while winter is coming "on the other side of the ball" ;-)
ReplyDeleteMany hugs, Traude
Hei Carolyn,

What a lovely pic of the bird and a shame you couldn't get a pic before the little ones hatched, but it must be pretty amazing to see nevertheless. Congrats on the award and also winning the book! Love that quote as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Traude for visiting and your kind words.
ReplyDeleteHi Piitis,
Always lovely to hear from you and only yesterday I thought I must go and visit your blog and see how you are.
Many thanks for your kindness.
Hi Haute shopper,
I was lucky to win the book and it is a great quote.
It was amazing seeing the coming and going of the Mother bird first building the nest and then the care for the hatching of her babies.
Hugs
Carolyn
