Only recently having raised a pair of young ones , and seemingly departed for a cooler clime, our resident Yellow-breasted Sunbirds suddenly reappeared and began to renovate the nest hanging under the hot back veranda. At times , it appears three birds are involved in the energetic construction , darting in and out with feathers , grass and cobwebs.
The female Sunbird seems to be in charge of finally putting in place all of the items flown in . A male bird , below , was seen collecting cobwebs from window flyscreens .
It is a case of all hands on deck / nest as the upgrade continues , close inspection of the interior carried out as the work progresses .
Our resident Curlews have been dive-bombed in the process , one of their old feathers picked up on the grass .
At the end of the day , the lady of the nest settles in with a contented look on her face.
