Brood patches were obvious and plentiful particularly in Silvereyes and honeyeaters.
The highlight was a male and a female Rainbow Bee-eater caught together in the car park net. These were the first bee-eaters netted for the season, newly arrived from the north in preparation for breeding - we first saw them at Herdsman the week before.
