This is beautiful, Rooks. Judy & I adore the WS. o:D They have had nests under our back verandah (except this year - moved to the side of the house) every year since we have been here, about 20 years. I have been trying for a decent photo of these little sweeties ever since I joined BF, without success. They are just so fast. Thanks for sharing this one from across The Ditch, Mate. :clap:
