Two weeks ago I was surprised to see a DBF carrying nesting material
to what looked like a nest under construction in Callum Brae. This
is very late for them to be nesting, at least according to the ACT
Atlas. At the time I assumed it might be practicing, or maybe they
built roosting nests. On returning to CB on Monday I checked again
-- as I walked past the nest, a single bird flew out which I assume
means they are actually sitting.
But I don't know if they build roosting nests in the wild, or if they would occupy them in the daytime. (The nest is roughly spherical grass exterior with a bit of a spout). If not then maybe this is a late-breeding local record attempt.Julian ******************************************************************************************************* This is the email announcement and discussion list of the Canberra Ornithologists Group.
