    The behaviour here puts this over-the-top! Everything looks great. I even like that one strand that looks like it is wrapped around the bird's head. Is the nesting material placed on the perch by you?

    I also love the behavior in this image. The nesting material is great! I also like how you framed the bird and perch. Nice work Jon!

    Dan, Kurt glad you liked it, this is a set up, I originally did this with barbed wire probably 10-12 years ago then all this " hand of man" stuff came about so I use a little bramble instead....... hopefully more and better to come.
