Lovely series! Please can you look up & add the scientific name in edit so we can take this off of the unidentified list. Thanks!

batex.x3, you have lovely pictures here of a "scrape" nest, and of the parent doing it's broken wing charade to get predators to follow it and leave the nest alone.
Please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
