Media notes
#3 of 3. The bird's patience waiting for a White-ant to emerge from the trail it damaged, has paid off. Bird now has an ant in it's beak.
Observation details
Breeding colony observed. It was interesting watching the birds break into a White-ant track that was on the exterior of a gum tree, then wait patiently until an ant came along, then it was quickly picked off and eaten. Very ingenious method of having a steady food supply.
