Dear Bird watchers,
 
Currawang - south east of Goulburn in the COG area of interest
 
In our ten year old new plantings, for the first time, a pair of mistletoebirds gleaning insects and what appears to be spiderweb from dying tagasaste trees close to sheds and myself as I worked in the yard.  They've had the greenhouse under surveillance as I worked in there for the past two days as well as flitting amongst pots and vegies. 
 
Question:  Does the above behaviour mean they are breeding nearby?
 
Respectfully,
Jude Hopwood.
