Though I don't know the bird species of this nest, if it's an occupied nest, keep observe and you probably can see the host of the nest.

Your observing on the bird flying around is practical, some questions could raise for a detail observation, i.e.

- When the nest been built?
- Had your heard the bird call?
- Distance of the nest from the human activities area, etc.

Leave along a vedio cam to movie the nest for a few hours (from distance) might 'catch' the answer. My two cents. Hope you could discover the bird species soon.^^

I also don't know the bird species of that nest. ???
But our school have at least five tree sparrow's nests under the air conditioner this year. :D

Dear all,

After days of not-so-intensive watching, I finally met one of my new neighbours - young tree sparrows who are learning to fly... cute little ones.

Cheers !!

Sorry for the photo quality (especially the focus), I only have a common 'dump' digital camera at hand.
