An uninvited tenant

I found them in our garage a few days ago. In fact one of them found me, by almost flying into my head and giving me quite a shock.

They are a pair of nestling Black Redstarts (Phoenicurus ochruros). Very nice, but unfortunately they are nestling in a hole in the garage wall just above the entrance door.

I feel very sorry for them as I have to go in and out of the garage with frozen pizza and dryplaster walls. Just a quick picture below, of mother Black Redstart on the nest, protecting the little ones from a Nikon-wielding flashing giant.
