Grey Shrike-Thrushes (Colluricincla harmonica) nesting


Each year a pair of Grey Shrike Thrushes nest in the back of our shed and raise 2-3 young birds. The male and female share the task of caring for their brood. We never destroy the nest after they're done so they don't have to rebuild it each year. Last year they used it twice, the first time in September, raising two fledglings, and again in November. Unfortunately the pics are not very good.
