birdnests

So construction proceeds on the martins' nests, which are starting to look pretty wierd. They start as a layer of mud built out from the light fitting and initially looks like a bowl, but sealed against the roof above. But then they start to close in the end....until the thing looks more like a bottle. The opening is just wide enough for the birds to fit through.



Right on sunset, we got a shower, and a rainbow. Or rather a double rainbow, extending from horizon to horizon. You can see the second halo and clearly make out the colors in reverse order.
