Hello,

Nice action and showing the habitat, Holger.

Looks as though this pair is building a nest! I like seeing both birds in the frame, their habitat and the one bringing in nesting material while the mate waits atop the beginnings of a nest. Good story here.

Hi Holger, great behavioural interaction captured here, and great that we see the male returning with some of their new house to build with. Love the female's pose.

I love the habitat and the behaviour. Really nice. I think the image would work well with a tad more room at right, but still OK as is.
