26 MAY
7:30 - Arrived to capture unbanded adults. Apparently
there is only a pair here (As per restwatch by Jure)
Caught B♂ (#2853.)
27 MAY
6:45 - Came to find tree covered - yes covered
with ants, including all around entry hole to nest.
I presumb nest was destroyed by ants after
I caught the B♂ and he was not there for
a while to defend the nest. (There have always
been a lot of ants in this tree). Too many ants
on tree for me to want to climb up and check
rest, - perhaps returning early in the morning would
make checking the nest possible.
6 June
8:30 - Banded and bled 3 very small & 1 old
nestlings. #2879-2881
