Sunbirds nest – Sun 7th Nov 2010

I’ve just put the last 2 days of birds nests.

Plus below that the original nest.

They often build their nests under verandahs – it’s thought that they consider humans less dangerous than other animals, so do build under eaves and verandahs.

And often build a new nest next to the old one, then use some of the old nest in the new.
