nesting ground

I, for my self, have taken to a most interesting hobby of which the native population of England is quite accustomed to. This is the watching of birds, for the area in which I live boasts of meandering waterways and estuaries that make resting and nesting ground for many an avian species.

I have identified quite a few birds in recent days, most notably the swift diving Merganser and the bulbous and wobbly constructed Coot, both of which are regular residences of the Canada Water estuary, located just behind the block apartment building where I live.
