A lovely pair singing and talking to each other all the time. They were working in and around their nest. Great to see their double nest - an open false cup nest with some colorful feathers at the top end and the entrance to the real nest at the bottom.
Photos 1 & 2 - going into the real nest.
Photo 3 - sitting on the false nest (light yellow color is a bird) and moving bits and pieces in the nest.
Photo 4- after working at the false nest.
