Good bunch of birds.  

WRT the Diamond Firetail nest I recall (but can no longer find the reference) that a difference between the breeding nests and communal 'roost-nests" is that the latter have no entrance tunnel.  It would be interesting to know if this nest had an entrance tunnel as it seems rather late to be building a breeding nest.

We drove south, this morning, to Williamsdale and then across on the road to Angle Crossing to, hopefully, see migrating yfhes. We didn't see any. We drove further south and branched off on Kelly Road.  Here we hit a small jackpot
