This male woodswallow is a tad small in the frame but I wished to show the typical, preferred, nesting site with the nest tucked behind peeling bark.

I don't think he's too small in the frame at all. The picture tells an interesting story as it is. My only niggle is that the white brow looks a little hot. If you could recover some detail there, your image would be a real winner.
I'm with Jon on the white Brow. It takes the eye right out of what is a BEAUTIFUL story. Otherwise this is a real great image. Just tone down the brow.
Great find, angle and details. I would add that it would have been nice to see the entire piece of bark at the bottom, at least in case it was not much longer.
Now that is a very cool nest location. One of the babies looks precdariously close to the edge of a long drop down! Is that the baby's bill we are seeing? I'm with Axel on the tip of the peeling bark. It looks like there wasn't much more there to be able to include it all by zooming out and pointing down a bit more. Overall very enjoyable to look at :-)

This repost has retained more detail in white-brow and the end of the piece of bark at bottom is retained.
I like the repost a lot!
