This is what the sparrows were upto a couple of weeks before they started waiting for the eggs to hatch.

Watering point, Roomassala (Buena Vista), Unawatuna

This point makes up the outer edge of the bay of Galle. At the other end lies the ancient dutch fort. Strictly speaking the fort isn’t the edge of the bay but it appears to be so. The fort is a man made construction where there was once just a pile of rocks. in the old days the ships came to the watering point for water. The old light house is over my shoulder. Further down the road, next to the Buena Vista school, lies the old British Cemetery now sadly neglected

Sparrows don’t build nests like other birds do. Theirs are usually in rafters and lampshades and sometimes pots like this. Many people hang small pots of boxes on their walls for sparrows to come and live in.
