The nest was last seen being occupied on last Wednesday. The female on that
nest was a typical paler form, and it used to roost on top of bare branch of a
dead tree next to it.
There is another female with darker upper part and it was still around at the
higher slope area. So I suspect there were two pairs and is now down to a pair.
Cheers,
Tun Pin
