A Nest!

I am so lucky to live just a short walk from an area of wetland where the rushes and willows grow tall. Today after many searches at last  I found one red winged blackbird's nest. It is amazing how these birds so very cleverly weave grasses in and out to anchor their structure to the thin tall stems of the willows.
It was woven around seven uprights and hang in perfect balance.
