Detalhes da observação
We found a female with a nest beside the road, attached to the underside of a fern using mosses, rootlets, and spiderwebs. The nest was a neat interior cup of brown mosses, with an outer covering of fresh, green, live mosses draped all around the outside. The inside was lined with reddish-brown hairlike fibers, perhaps collected from a tree fern or perhaps animal fur. The nest opening was 4cm in diameter and 4cm deep. The fern to which the nest was attached was curling out of a steeply cut roadside bank covered in ferns, mosses, small flowering plants, and some cane-like vegetation. The surrounding habitat was a matrix of pasture and remnant trees with some chunks of remaining forest. We observed her incubating two eggs as well as nectaring nearby and small tubular orange flowers. There were many plants of at least 6 different species in bloom in the immediate surroundings of the nest. Sorry my shirt is in some of these photos; I had to climb on top of the van to photograph the nest and the angle was quite awkward!
