Media notes
A nest of this species with 2 half grown chicks was recorded at the Left Ring Road. These records were made from near the nest.
Observation details
One of the highlights of this trip was the recording of a nest of the species. The nest was a deep cut the size of an adult's cupped hand. The nest was located almost at the tip of a branch overhanging the road. The nest had two (2) chicks which may be 7/8 days old. Both the birds were actively feeding the chips. It was a mystery that more than 2 adult birds were seen in the vicinity of the nest. One of the birds was seen swallowing blackish capsules, presumably fecal material.
