Behind all of this activity at the Jacobs River campsite were the Dusky Woodswallows attending to their young. It took me a while to locate their nest. It was in a tree as you might expect.

| Can you spot the nest? |

| Can you spot it now? |
I expect nests to be high up, out of the way of ground-based predators. In this case perhaps not. It was only five feet off the ground wedged where a piece of substantial sized bark had fallen away from the trunk, a bit like a sock with a loose top. There were three inhabitants.

| "Where's that food?" |
 |
| "Aren't mums marvellous?" |
 |
| "Feed me. Feed me. Ta Mum" |
 |
Waste disposal service too. Mum/dad reaching to take away
a capsule of white material from an anus.

 |
| "All we have to do is wait for the next round of food". |
 |
"Perhaps a spot of preening and sunbathing.
Ahh. Life is good". |
Magic. f8 and be there.
