A bird with nesting material (dead grass?) in its mouth in Horse Chestnut tree for several minutes! Very noticeable was its "bowing" or "bowing". It would quickly lower and raise the anterior part of the body especially the head. It seemed to bend the leg at the ankle joint to do this. It flew to poplar tree, bowed some more, then flew away. Later was pounding at a branch and trying to gather a long string or wire from the horse chestnut. Possibly actively nesting
