Nesting Whiteeyes

The pair of whiteeys which regularly visit out bird bath were acting funny for the past week.
After a long search they seem to have found a suitable place to build a nest.
Unfortunately it's not in my garden but in our neighboring garden. The birds have selected a leafy neem tree and the nest is about 20 -25 feet above ground. I don't have a clear view of the nest as the branch is quite leafy.But from the glimpses that I get of it, the basic structure seems to be ready. The birds seem to be lining it now. Saw one of the whiteeyes with a white fluffy something in its beak .

Watching the nest is going to be good fun for the next month or so...

The dissection of the bulbul nest is still pending.
