Excellent news re the Pilotbird Marnix.
On Saturday at Callum Brae a Diamond Firetail was building a nest,
apparently entirely of flowering stems of Chrysocephalum apiculatam (a
common species of small-flowered paper daisy). It wasn't just
convenience either - the nearest patch seemed to be at least a few 100
metres away. I can't of course speak for the finch, but from our
perspective it was jolly aesthetic!
cheers all
