A couple of weeks ago, following a storm, I found a little bird nest.
Thankfully empty (with no sign of eggs anywhere near) it lay there, upside down on the lawn, perfect and beautiful.
A victim of the destructive gale force winds.
It’s a miniature work of art, and I wanted to share its beauty through my photographs. Each piece of the nest carefully and expertly constructed, using natural materials of twigs, moss and leaves, with soft man-made fibres lining the center.
I got a little emotional when I spotted long black and tan dog hair entwined with the fibres, I recognised them instantly. Our boy, a German Shepherd who we lost suddenly last summer, lives on in this nest. And for this very reason, I’ll treasure it.
