Yes its the same nest Wired, same parent birds too I think.
Yes birds and navigation. Swallows return to the same barn they nested in the year before. Arctic Terns fly to South Africa, then return to not only the same beach in Scotland as the year before, but within 2 metres of the spot used previously. Could we do that in an aircraft with maps and compasses?
