They used the old nest, repairing it with mud. This took them about 6 days to do, only a very small gap is left at the top to keep out predators.

On 2nd June the nest was under seige from other birds needing an easy nest. One was inside while the other clung to the side of the nest. I saw 5 birds at once flying around.
