The kids are in Town !

Nest site of Australasian pipit out on the plains


Australiasian Pipit chick- there are three in there honest !

Nik ringing a Paperbark Flycatcher chick





Paperbark Flycatcher chick in its delicate nest woven from spiders webs and grass decorated with bits of leaves.



Paperbark Flycatcher nest quite exposed but blends in perfectly with the branches of the Mother-in-law tree.





And there is the little fella - all head and no tail yet !


All the chicks are really showing up around the site now, this Rurouf Whistler juvenile turned up in the nets.



As did the Rufous Throated Honey eater juvenile - no rufous throat although some adults do not have a coloured throat either, but this is in lovely soft fresh plumage and has a beautiful grey head.

Incredible nest of a Rufous Throated Honeyeater suspended at the end of a spindly branch.
