miners nesting building
On
Callum Brae this morning I sat and watched a pair of noisy miners building a
nest in the SE corner, about 15 metres up a straggling young eucalypt.
The nest has not yet been lined because you can still see daylight through it
when empty. Although there were two birds around, I only saw
one at the nest at any one time. Both birds, though were actively engaged
in chasing off visiting magpies and currawongs.
Are
noisy miners a species whose breeding is governed more by rainfall than by the
time of year?
