Sažetak
Nest stacking is a rarely observed nesting behaviour in which the birds build a new on top of an old nest. Here we report a case of nest stacking in the Great Reed Warbler. Previously, nest stacking has been reported in relation to a few species that mainly inhabit wetlands, indicating that vegetation structure might play an important role in such nesting behaviour. We encourage experts to publish their records and observations on rare nesting behaviour, in order to increase our knowledge and understanding of the nature of these phenomena.
