Did wonder when I first photographed the site, quick check and it was 2013, though locals assure me they have nested here for 25+ years.
Looked at a 2013 image of the nest and there is a considerable difference to the one I took recently.

Looking at other years there seems to be a gradual reduction in the number of twigs, hadn't really noticed.
