You must have been on your hands and knees to get a photo of such a careful bird?

It can inflict a painful bite also on a hand.

Great image.

Thank you Christine.

Thank you Verdy. It would have been very special at 25 Cm.

I which I could climb up there to inspect the nest ,but those days are gone.
By the way Christine , I replied to your comment about the angry bird but I messed it up and my
reply is in the wrong place. The more I tried to fix it the worse it got.

Yes Lisa it is unusual .They must be transporting all the soil all the way up. I don’t think that it comes from inside the tree.

Christine I think a Falcon would be jealous of your eyeside.
It could be a small parasite or as Franny ( another eagle eye) suggested it could be a small fly. The bird appeared at the time very healthy.
