A bird's nest built on an empty electric bulb socket, Puwakpitiya, Sri Lanka.



Safety from predators seems to be the first priority in building nests. The Garden Lizard and The Rat snake make a meal of the eggs and the Coucal bird waits till the young chicks are about to fly and gobbles them up. All these have to be guarded against when building a nest.
