Rising storm floods are washing away wader nests – land use planning can help, artificial eggs and incubation used only as a last resort

Increased flooding is linked to climate change and affects not only waders but other birds as well.

I may have to wait a little while before using my gas bbq. There appears to be a dwelling nested in the folds of the cover!

Any ideas as to what bird that might be?

Luckily I have a charcoal backup bbq.

Nests and crests. @CTGT and I watched this pair of Pileated Woodpeckers work on their nest cavity. The flame effect when the sun hit their crests was awesome.

Nest-building birds help disperse cotton further than wind, study suggests

Birds play a larger role in the dispersal of wild cotton than previously assumed. This is shown by a study in the journal Oikos, carried out in southern Africa. Researchers discovered that birds actively collect wild cotton as nesting material and in doing so move seeds over distances of more than a kilometer. Cotton fibers were long seen as something that evolved to disperse seeds by wind, but birds also take them to their nests and in this way help disperse the seeds much further.

Hey #fediknowledge !!

I was working in the garden and stumbled upon these kind of tiny cups with some small white eggs (???) in them.

What are these things and what animal made them?

Please boost!

I know there has to be some bubble in #fediverse where someone has the answer :-)
