Mangrove Robin reveals nest site

Bit of luck at the end of Orient Station road today with Mangrove Robin (Peneonanthe pulverulenta) giving away nest site.

Bird sits neatly in cup, which sits neatly in thick fork of dying mangrove.

Here's a closer look at one of the nesting pair, taken previously.

Elsewhere along the station road recently, pair of Brown Quail (Coturnix ypsilophora) venture briefly from cover.

And an Australian Bustard (Ardeotis australis) does a little morning preening and flapping.
