416779030/11/20120Old nest in garden destroyed - fallen on ground. Was originally seen to be cleaned out by boomslang then taken over by some other bird that lined nest with plastic thread etc. These 2 birds are very active calling, mating and displaying. This new nest has just been started and a few threads have been tied over last day. Shall monitor progress.
