Fwd: unusual / adaptive nest

Still another female is using hole/s excavated / enlarged in the replaced eave of an old 2-storey building. Throughout the town, males call & call, getting ever closer to the entrance, till they can feed their female there or outside.

Fwd: unusual / adaptive nest

And on the other side of the town common, a female Red-Rump is using a metal hollow inside the high overhang of one of Crows Nest’s newest buildings. Seems to be a species culture here.
