Springbrook garden update

I have enjoyed watching and listening to a pair of Paradise Flycatcher as they flit around the Erythrina Tree in my garden, his long Chestnut tail feathers following him around like ribbons as he flits about collecting building material. Hopefully I'll get a clearer photo soon.





Next door to this Erythrina a pair of Southern Black Tit are nesting in a hole in a stone wall, I've been trying to get a photo of them, but wow they are fast the little things, I have many photos of the stone wall nest site!!

Fork-tailed Drongo are building just down the branch from the Paradise Flycatcher, their nest is a very flimsy hammock between two branches. Every now and again the Paradise Flycatcher feel a little intimidated by the FTD and chase them off.
