Building with sticks and twigs

Birds have started building a nest outside our bedroom window. While you lie there reading a book you hear their clear, crisp call as they arrive home, and in the morning they wake you up as they welcome the day. (I used a layout I found on Pinterest as reference to create the image below.)

Empty nest

I found this on the ground in the garden.

Blow me down!

Blown down by the wild winds. Beautifully crafted.
