yes kind of scary and surprised how flexible it could be. The juv was well protected by adults sometimes even fly to gether from one branch ot the next. I guess only human could distrupt them. I guess the missing juv is the result of a human hand.

#64 too bad blocked half of it, showing the fan could act as protection as well.

No idea if the Olive-back Sunbird has successfully laid and hatched the eggs as I didn't see. The nest was not there at the time when piped fantail fledged.
