Correct on the juvenile Wheatear.

Try something different. Clues are they were both in Leyandii, we are out in the country with fields and woods. Nest_2 is not mud lined it is fine horse hair. Both were expelled due to high wind.

Near PC, very near, but not correct, Nest_2 is made of very fine hair, the image doesn't give a true reflection. Nest_1 is bigger.
