I recently discovered two willie wagtail nests - both on branches hanging out over creeks. The second one i could look down into from a bridge.

I've seen willies build nests in some precarious places.

Quite a nifty down-the-hatch shot in the second. :)

Oh now I'm just jealous Accidentally found my first Dusky Robin nest last week - they tend to build nests in & on the sides of old tree stumps - right down low but empty, fledged I imagine. Then a Pink Robin nest, beautiful creations they are, all lichen covered etc - but that one, you'd need a cherry picker or a crane to ever see into it from afar. How fantastic these guys built one downways from a bridge for you! Little beaks & wide baby mouths, beautiful beautiful captures
