Media notes

Up on a cliff at a flat rocky nesting site. 8 birds, 4 pair building nests but not using green plants from the water because they were too high to carry it to the nesting site., 8 feet from one pair. Scraped out net with a few twigs, too high to use plants from the water They do not like it is you get too close, they give this call to warn you off. Male was gathering the most pathetic twigs you an imagine and bringing them back to the nest the female trying to build. I think the other nesting pair which had already built their nest got the best material first.
