I discovered this nest today, stumbled upon it without realising, and recognised it immediately as the nest or 'bedroom' of lesser spotted teenager bird. Many characteristics shared with teenager birds worldwide, but this particular nest made more obvious by loud calling (shouting) of female, or mother, lesser spotted bird upon discovery. Much fuss and botheration between teenager and mother resulting in nest reformation into what can only be described as a 'tidy' condition. Barely natural environment for lesser spotted teenager bird, but its okay, don't worry, well known to return nest to more natural environment as soon as mother's back is turned.

is that the before or after pic? I think that if you can walk on the floor without stepping on more than two things, you're lucky.
Is there a chance you'll be able to take a photo of the spotted teenager bird in its natural habitat? Perhaps while it's preening, feeding, or splashing in the bath? ;-)
actually you have already seen a short film of the bird's eating habits (all over the table with the food) and I think he would be a shocking sight bathing - he's a bit of a showbird at heart. The after picture of the nest was immaculate, but brief, very brief.
