User's notes
The same small tree as the Leaden Flycatcher also held a Noisy Friarbird nest around a metre away from the flycatcher’s nest. We thought the nest was not being used at the time we were there but looking at my photographs later I could see what I think were the back feathers of at least one chick. We think we saw the parent in a tree nearby. It was flying around us but not approaching the nest. It also held the remains of a cicada in its beak but was not eating it, probably meaning the adult bird was going to feed the insect to the chicks.
