Spotted a bird nest while in the orchard. Tucked inside was a young bird that definitely had not fledged. 😂

Closeup of a bird nest built in the crook of a twisted macoun apple tree. The nest is about 4 niches high and made from strips of dried plant material and mud. Sitting in the nest is an apple that has its upper half visible, its lower half presumably in the nest. The apple is a perfect size for the nest. In the foreground is another two apples that are rotting. In the background are green apple leaves and several apples still on branches.

A closeup photo showing flower buds on a Harcot Apricot tree. They are round and red and appear pink where they are starting to burst open. The stem is brown and connected to the small trunk that is brown with white speckles.

Fruit buds growing out on an apple tree. They are silvery and fuzzy looking on their undersides of the leaves and eventual flower parts. They are on the tip of a branch.

The tip of a pear branch on a small tree, there are many light green curled up leaf tips coming from a reddish but on the end of a tan/greenish branch. There is a fence cage visible beyond.

A photo showing fruit buds on a red currant bush. They are small clusters of round green bits with emerging currant leaves around them coming off the sort of square shaped woody stem.
