There are three pairs of Pied Fantails-Rhipidura javanica nesting in the garden and each has built an exquisite little grass basket about 2" wide by 3" high..and each nest has two eggs. The female sits happily while dogs, cats, motorbikes and loud music are at hand, while the male sits about 6 inches away and sings to her. Every hour or so they fly to the cables and have an animated chatter and snog
They fly with little swoops and dips, like an animated cross between a flycatcher and a butterfly.
