A new nest
Sorry, the photo is a bit blurry but I couldn't get any closer.

building a nest

The happy couple finally made the decicion on which house they would move into. And as two real construction workers they fly in and out all day with pieces of straw and moss to build their nest.
And do you want to know what I do all day?
...Well I sit in the sun and watch those two busy birds from an appropriate distance. All that activity is a joy to see!
Untill next time!

Oh Corry what a beautiful bird! and how nice to be able to watch them! Thanks for sharing bright yellow things too...we have had dreary weather here in PA and it was nice to see something pretty and bright.

i can see why they chose that house - it's just gorgeous.
and i don't blame you one bit for sitting outside and enjoying them. it's good to sit back and watch the small things - it makes life worth living.
enjoy your weekend

Ik vind dat de vrolijkheid en het voorjaar van je gele inspiratie plaatjes afspettert. Wat een leuke foto van het koolmeesje, hij heeft een goede keuze gemaakt, dat gaat nog gezellig(er) worden! Groetjes!

Debbie said...

Corry, what a beautiful bird!!! What kind is it? Nothing like we have here in the states! I'm glad you have some happy residents, enjoy.

Anne Marie said...

There is such a fondness in birds aren't there? I can't get enough of them! Hence why my husband calls me "mother goose"...(I do own a goose)...or "mother hen"....hee hee

Karen said...

What a lovely bird picture. Lots of color inspiration there. Notice how the bird and the house co-ordinate??? Do you know what kind it is? Wish we had those around here;)

Dear Corry, I am so intrigued by your calendar each month. Are they drawn by your. Is that your own script. They are just so beautiful that they make me want to know more about them. Can you please tell us about them. Elizabeth PS We do not have birds such as yours her in Ohio. It is so lovely!

wat een heerlijk foto's. en wat een feest om dat vogeltje bezig te zien!

Eileen said...

Oh yes.. yellow is a favorite color of mine too.

Corry. What kind of a bird is that? We don't have them here.

Unknown said...

The yellow is a divine color for inspiration... love it! That bird is absolutely beautiful! I would be doing the same thing as you, sitting and watching. What type of bird is it?

Julie said...

All you have to do is look at the walls in my house to know that I love yellow.
What a beautiful bird and what a great way to spend your time but watching them.

Nadine said...

We just spotted a pair of tree swallows checking out one of our bird houses this morning!
Yellow is one of my favorite colors, bright & cheerful!

Is this a real bird living in your nature, it is so colorful?

méri said...

I have to repeat What beautiful colours!

The yellow is my eldest grand-daughter's favourite colour too :)

I love this colour mosaic, even though I’m not a lover of yellow...!

Please share the secret how to make a mosaic that’s all about crafty things!
I don’t succeed to make one...!

A belated comment for everyone who wanted to know - The beautiful bird is a Blue Tit. Some wiki info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Tit

That bird is so beautiful. I find birds and fish to be utterly amazing in the vividness of their colors.

Hi! My name is erica. Would you be my friend? said...

That bird is gorgeous! And against that adorable birdhouse I thought he was fake!

Wendz said...

Hi, I've just found your blog and love it, and, that photo of the bird going into the nest box is absolutely beautiful. What a wonderful experience it must be to be able to watch them as they build their nest.
