Following a frenzied period of building another nest under the back verandah , a Sunbird , pictured below, was noticed apparently in residence. It flew away several times . Late in the evening , it was noticed that the nest had gone. It was found on the ground with two smashed eggs .
What had happened ? Could it have been the blustery wind which brought down many fronds in the area ? Unlikely . The nests of Sunbirds are often cut down by Currawongs and Crows , the latter noticed about the yard . A small Friarbird had been seen chasing a much larger Crow down the street. Another team of Sunbirds seem intent on nest building .
