Yes that is early (as a group) but probably not hugely early. Presumably
the 3 pairs 
of thornbills building nests were Yellow-rumped

I've just come in from the garden, where I just spent 15 minutes 
watching one of the local Crested Pigeons building a nest in their usual

Hakea bush down the back. Put this together with the (at least) 3 pairs 
of thornbills building nests in the Pinnacle NR and the copulating 
Starlings I observed last week, and it seems to me that things are 
getting off to an unusually early start this year. No?
