Greetings,
Australian Fernwrens have commenced nest building at Mt Hypipamee. Walk to the first bridge and look to your left. In the creek are two logs crossing the creek together. The nest is under the second. Between the logs there is an exposed root on which the birds often pause. It can be seen from the bridge. PLEASE STAY ON THE PATH.

An immature male Golden Bowerbird was feeding on fruit today from a Lauraceae found near the entrance to the toilets at the Mt Hypipamee picnic grounds.

The well known site at Longlands Gap which I have been watching for three decades shows no sign of activity. The fourth bird at this site in that time was a messy decorator last year (its first year on the job). The upright of the larger tower has fallen so the bird may well start another bower this year.

Regards,
Alan Gillanders
