Hi all,

The Yellow-rumped Thornbills that traditionally nest in a Melaleuca in
my yard have completed their nest and I believe there may now be eggs,
judging by the distraction display (hanging upside down, swinging  and
trilling loudly) one of them put on when the resident Magpie flew in to
a nearby tree yesterday evening. This is the earliest breeding record I
have for this particular group of Thornbills.

The Wood Ducks around my place of work are also nesting at the moment.
