Shining Flycatchers nesting

Hey Guys. Saw these parents-to-be sharing incubating duties on the weekend. I see a fair few Restless Flycatchers around the area but this was my first Shining sighting. Stoked.

No wonder your pleased .... getting male and female together and nesting for a first sighting! That's a neat little nest they have built.

Lovely images .... thanks for sharing.

Naww, what a cute couple! Beautiful colours!

I've seen leaden and restless flycatchers, but no shining ones thusfar. 

Thanks for sharing!

I really wonder what they're calling out to eachother? laugh  Ditto to how lucky to see both in one (first) sighting, and their nest is just a work of art.  Beaut series KB!

Cheers AnnieJ. They were calling to each other every now and then but not in any of these photos. Their mouths were open because it was a pretty hot day and they were panting. So was I for that matter!
