This TAWFRO has made a nest in an old chough nest, you can see some
leaves sticking out. Apparently it is not uncommon for them to use old
nests of other species.
The authorities state that the male sits on the nest by day, and the
female and male share the duties by night. This one seems to be an
all-grey male.
