what later proved to be nest and which I was certain of at the time. Male then sat beside nest - within a couple of feet for 40 min - only once turning around (10.20 - 11.08) Finally moved off then eucalypt. I marked the four eggs, which were in nest. Evidently an egg laid by female around 10 or 10:10. Was not sitting after that. Birds made no demonstration or even close approach while I was at nest. Went as no 4 - bird sat close as I came up from behind cover willows and did not flush till I suddenly scared her by shaking branches. She jumped off - off a male appeared at edge of tree - sat close by - seemed to be larger and perhaps lighter but I am not distinguishable in this pair with certainly. Nest had 7 eggs - I took one. Last laid - D. maculata - it was 3.7 inch - very small as I suspected. Only egg fertile out of other 9 present due to rapid flurrying. Birds sat even closer than Wyni - female recent in same site - male in usual perch of 2 after flurbing - that is the first time. I could give a nodifuge.
