Over the last few weeks we have watched a nest near our toilet block. The adult birds would appear in the tree with a small insect or grub in their beaks and make their way to the nest, where two beaks would emerge on the ends of two squawking puffballs. About a week later the nest was empty and the new fledgings were found huddled together in a nearby bush. About a week after that they were in a tree about 50m away (near our office), still being fed by mum and dad. By now I imagine they are fully fledged and able to feed themselves, but we are pretty sure they are nesting again. | Over the last few weeks we have watched a nest near our toilet block.

Over the last few weeks we have watched a nest near our toilet block. The adult birds would appear in the tree with a small insect or grub in their beaks and make their way to the nest, where two beaks would emerge on the ends of two squawking puffballs. About a week later the nest was empty and the new fledgings were found huddled together in a nearby bush. About a week after that they were in a tree about 50m away (near our office), still being fed by mum and dad. By now I imagine they are fully fledged and able to feed themselves, but we are pretty sure they are nesting again.
