Saundersfoot, Wales Canon R6+RF800mm lens
The House Martins were in the process of building this nest from harbour mud, though I think they gave up on it over the coming days. Why the sparrow was interested I do not know!
And I suppose to complete it, House Martins from the same group gathering the mud in the harbour
I've seen house sparrows take a house Martin's nest before, not sure if it was already abandoned or not.
Wow that’s a great shot!
The sparrow was just pure good luck, and a bit of a surprise when I reviewed the photo!
