I'm sure it has been commented on before that there is a strong tendency
for Noisy Friarbirds and Leaden Flycatchers, to nest in close proximity.

How wonderful!! Campbell Park is back to what it was before the drought!
This morning's sighting, all around the horse gate. Not a lot of
nests, but with more eyes and more time,
I am sure others will be found on Sunday
These 3 nest were quite close together, to the RHS of the horse gate
as you approach it from the car park
Noisy friar bird on and off nest
Yellow rumped thornbill--not easy to find
Leaden flycatcher, m and f, just building a nest
Crested pigeon feeding young, near car park
Other leaden flycatchers around.
2, or perhaps more, diamond firetails
Lots of dusky wood swallows, one with a distinctly blue bill,
collecting nesting material
Another seemed to have a nest amongst leaves. An unusual place? 4 jacky
winters 2 rufous whistlers 4 willie wagtails, being hassled by wood
swallows and ravens, not far
from carpark
They must have a nest
2 black faced cuckoo shrikes
2 King parrots
20 crimson rosellas
10 sulphur crested cockatoos
2 white throated gerygones
2 white winged trillers
1 grey fantail
1 olive-backed oriole, heard
6 noisy miners. I am sure that they had nests
This does not seem to be lot of birds, but we were so entranced by
what we were
seeing that we did not go further afield
