Figbirds nesting, Sydney

["Troy Mutton" <>]

Hi all,

At Victoria Park, in Camperdown, central-ish Sydney, there was a party of 
around 20 Figbirds near the steps leading into the University of Sydney feeding 
on the fruits in the fig tree. On the other side of the pond, high up in 
another fig tree, was a pair of Figbirds building a nest. I thought this was a 
bit early, so thought I'd pass on the news.

If anyone wants specific directions to the tree, or to see a couple of pictures 
of the female just below the nest, let me know and I'll be happy to pass on the 
information.

There was also a Magpie that appeared to be actively gathering material for a 
nest, which corresponds with Carl Clifford's chicken wire report from the other 
day.

Cheers
Troy
