April 2013 gone warmer and birds really nesting

After a really bad winter it has finally gone warmer and there is lots of nesting activity going on.

Found this beautiful Long Tailed Tits nest in a thorny shrub near to where I work and quickly took this picture.  Its made of 6000 different pieces of Moss Lichen, Spider egg cocoons, and feathers 

Its tough out there.  This duckling was left unattended for a few seconds and becomes a meal for this Herring Gull
