Saw a pair of Dusky Moorhens building a nest at Baldwin Swamp on the weekend. They had just started construction when one of them swam away and after a short while the other followed. then a couple of minutes later two swans that showed up saw the partly built mound and started building it up themselves. They to swam away one at a time after a while so we left. We came back about 30 minutes later and they were back building up the mound again. I will have to go back and check again during the week.

So who's nest is it? Or is it like the Rainbow Bee-Eater nest in which the 'communal' birds apparently help dig the hole for the nest.
I'll let you know what happens.

Trev
That is kind of cool Trev, I wonder who will end up there?
