What's the most peculiar place you've seen a bird make its nest? (lemm.ee)

It's Autumn in the Southern hemisphere (Spring time in the Northern hemisphere), and I get fascinated by a lamp post near me that some birds have been using as a hand-me-down for a decade now.

Not peculiar but it was fun watching them failing to build their nest at the top of the tree in front of my balcony. The wind blew everything down immediately, it was like a slapstick film. They tried for a week but never managed to fix more than a few sticks and those are gone by now too. Hope they found a better spot.

Must be a competitive market

The weather was probably much nicer when they chose this spot. You could see them arguing over it. I wish I had it on video.
