Media notes
This female and a male were building a nest but flew off on approach of our vehicle. Female perched for a couple seconds before following the male who did not stop.
Observation details
Pair. They flew out of the embankment along the road, right in front of us. There must have been an active nest right there. The female perched for a few moments right ut in the clear open on a bare branch. We didn't have time to park the car, as the female flew down the embankment into the forest, following the male. We waited there for 20 minutes for them to come back. They did come by once, just making a circuit past us, and back off into the bush. We had good looks at the both of them, but were unable to get any photos. It started to rain...
