Terrific close-up capture, Alan! Hope they've picked a better spot than last year. There was a pair in the North Harbour and they were constantly being disturbed by boat people and children in dinghies.

I'm afraid not Graham, the nest is six metres from a boat jetty. This pair seem to learn little from previous years, though the majority of pairs elsewhere do fine. It was by crawling under the jerry and using it as a hide I managed this and other images...
