Boxing Day flood of about one metre washed through wetlands and apart from spreading problem weeds did little damage. But the teeming rain washed some nests from the trees.
Rufous-throated Honeyeater (Conopophila rufogularis) among those starting again today.

And a fluffier look, also taken from the hide.

How did the Boxing Day flood compare with some of the whoppers of recent years? Has it gone already?

Happy nest re-building to you and your friends.
