They are funny things - their nest is full of all sorts of treasure, like baler twine, kitchen roll, socks and plastic bags. If you look at the picture below you can see the orange baler twine on the right of the nest. They also drop all sorts of rubbish all over the garden, but they seem very keen on kitchen roll this year - maybe they're lining the nest to make it more comfy. Anyway, there is a lot of paper all over the garden, where they've brought it back to the nest and dropped it.

Both parents seem to sit on the nest, but you can tell if it's Katrina up there because she peeks over the nest to see who's looking at her. Here she is in the picture below, just above the green branch in the centre. You can just make out a white head and yellow eye.
