Tip toeing round nesting sites

Just down the road from our favourite Scarlet Robins, a pair of Eastern Yellow Robins have also decided that an early start to Spring means early nest building.

This one, I practically walked into, despite being told at the time, “It’s just there on your left, you are TOO close.”

Oh.

She always takes a different approach to the site

Nestling nicely among the bark and sheltered by some wattle

Its all held together with cobweb which is wiped from beak, head and wings. — It’s all held together with cobweb which is wiped from beak, head and wings.

Choice little bits needed to fill in spaces

And the site supervisor arrives on time with morning tea.

Pondering where to put the widescreen tv?

Hi Dave – a gorgeous series of shots..what neck of the woods. It is certainly a privilege to watch these birds set up home. I currently have my eyes on a pair of Peregrines in Niddrie Quarry…close for me to watch.

Hi Nina, these birds are down at the You Yangs. One of the pairs is in the Big Rock area.

The falcons would be fantastic to see. Hope you can publish some shots

  Hi Rodger,
  Thanks for that, like the images on white, but I’m stuck with the rather large obvious and intrusive header text. Might have to find a better more elegant or pay some money and get an update to deal with text.
  
  We’ll see
