I relocated the BFHEs in Hughes today, about 75 meters nearer to Kent Street than the area I'd seen them in before. There were the two adults and the immature as before, and as I was watching them I spotted what I think is their nest (see photo).
Is this what the nest in Commonwealth Park in October 22 looked like?
Worthy of note is that less than twenty metres from the nest (northwards, in a back yard in Jensen Street) is a Silky Oak (a tree Grevillea), that has been flowering for a couple of months now and may have been the determining factor that led the pair
to build the nest where they did.
Also sending a picture of one of the adults I took a couple of days ago. I see it has caught a cicada, though I haven't heard any this year!
