The cicadabird nest reported by Stu Harris seems to have
been abandoned. When I checked it out a couple of days later the male was
still busily working on it, but I saw no sign of the female at any stage, and
no sign of activity at all today. I am not surprised it did not proceed
because the male was under constant attack from White-naped Honeyeaters, so
much so it seemed unlikely any nesting effort could be sustained at that particular
spot. A few frames from video footage. As Stu mentioned the
nest was in a fork more than 20m above the level of the track.
