A lady showed me this in her back garden. I called in to talk about hedgehogs, as she feeds them.
She has a highland terrier that keeps the cats away.

I can't work out the differing angles of the wood, Willpar. Is it fencing or maybe a shed ??
Anyway, the blackbird looks very snug, secure and happy

Sad news

Hopefully they will have another go at a less vulnerable site.

Hi Placi, it is one of those structures some people have in their garden. Has an apex roof, two sides and a back. No front and has a garden seat in it. Blackbird nest is in the roof. I think there is a plank missing and that is where the blackbird managed to build it nest in.
