In one of my recent posts I mentioned having seen a Satin Bowerbird (nb). It was quite an exciting observation for me as it was my first record of a breeding Satin Bowerbird. I now think it might possibly have been the reverse, that is to say, (nd) nest nestdestroying. The bird was doing a bit of re-arranging of a nest (I thought at the time with a fair bit of vigour) and at one stage I saw that the bird had a small twig in its beak. However, when I went to check the nest a day later, all the nest materials were gone and the Bowerbird was not to be seen. So, given the uncertainty, I will undo my Satin Bowerbird (nb) record.
