After first laying a complete clutch of five eggs and then ejecting an experimentally added parasite egg together with two of its own eggs, a new clutch was initiated in the same nest. In Tana (70&deg;16&rsquo;N, 28&deg;19&rsquo;E), Norway, in June 2003, we observed a </span></span></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">similar incident in the Brambling <em>Fringilla montifringilla</em>. In a nest that was completely depredated when 3-4 eggs had been laid, a new clutch was initiated 8-9 days later. This is as far as we know the first time nest reuse has been documented in Great Reed Warblers and Bramblings.</span></span></span></p> ER -
