Reason: Demonstrates nesting behaviour and construction. You can just see a newly born chick poking it's head out. I put the camera on a tripod when the mother was getting food and used a long remote release to take this picture without ~~distributing~~ disturbing the subject.

Support You mean disturbing the subject? New camera? --Muhammad(talk) 08:51, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I do. Sort of, but the camera is not mine, been having a few problems with the shutter button on my 400D atm. Hilarious typo. Noodle snacks (talk) 09:01, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Lovely EV for the nest article, as it shows a mother bird sitting on the nest- the only image that does so. I think there's a real mine of FPs with bird's nests- just as there is at least one FP for every species, there's at least one FP for every nest full of eggs. Very few reference works contain pictures of the eggs, which means that identifying birds from their eggs is annoyingly difficult. J Milburn (talk) 11:05, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
