Construction work!

do you see that giant birds nest to the right?! i noticed it yesterday when we were eating in the sun, outside on the balcony (!!). a couple of magpies (what a cute word for that bird. we call them "ekster") were flying with branches far too big for them (sometimes they hardly could get into the air, so big), dropping them off at their home. i thought they would just sit on top of the pile of branches, but they were entering right in the middle of it, so its really a house. i wonder how many rooms it has and what kind of furniture they are making....
our house could use some construction too, but unfortunately thats not going to happen as long as we live there. the block next to it is completely renovated and the entire floorplan changed, im sure for the better. we have 2 rooms (and a kitchen and a living room), but their shap is so odd you cannot really use the space to the fullest. too bad it wont change much by adding some branches!!

They make huge nests indeed, I see them in the trees here too. We even have a couple jackdaws trying to make one under our roof! Have to chase them away wich is very difficult. Too bad you have no renovation, no money by the owner I presume?

It looks like once there are leaves on the tree you may not have such a good view of this new house. Renovations are nice but they often come with a downside if you're a renter: the owner usually passes the costs on with rent increases.
