I have been keeping a eye on a noisy miners nest at Callum Brae. Most of the time today and on 15th there has been a bird sitting on the nest. However, at one stage today there were three birds at the nest. One (middle bird) had brought some fluff (arrow) to line the nest with. The one at the back (arrow), I think, has been sitting on the nest, but the one in the front surprised me with its visit. It was the last to arrive and the first to leave. I have never seen three NM at a nest à la chough before. The difference in colour of the breast feathers is more likely a matter of which bird is in the light and which in the shade. I think they all looked pretty much alike.
