He really did it!

I could not believe my eyes as he furiously attacked his nest and ripped it apart! Within three hours there was only a skeleton left over! Here some info for those interested.

"Males break old nests down so that they can build a new green nest in its place and try to attract a female to that" I had to find out why. Your photo is worthy of publication!

How long do the nests last before they make a new one?

[Diana]

@onewing It they get accepted by a female, the whole season Babs ;-)
