Now that is clever. Under your carport they are safe from bigger birds.
Last year, a pair of willy wagtails nested in one of our poinciana trees quite low, at eye height. They trusted us so much that there was no problem peeking in the nest and watching the babes grow.
Unfortunately just before the babes were due to leave the nest a Channel Bill raided and both babies were gone. It was heart breaking.
This year the parents have wised up and made a nest under the eaves of the shed. The overhanging eaves prevent any marauding bird from access.
