Little Friarbird eggs (in nest)

Description:

Little Friarbird nests "...would usually consist of 2-3 eggs (sometimes 4) which tend to be an oval to tapered oval shape averaging 28mm by 20mm in size. The eggs appear chestnut in colour and can be a whitish pink to salmon red, or spotted purplish red to purple." (Wiki) These eggs looked pink and spotted.

Habitat:

Sitting in a nest that is suspended from a forked branch in a tree near the front gate of the rubbish dump.

Notes:

First time seeing the eggs of a Little Friarbird!!! The nest was spotted by my mum as we were leaving the dump. Exiting before us was a truck which frightened the female out of the the nest which gave us time to jump out and have a quick look. The branch of this tree looked like it was ready to break off from the trunk but the nest was securely attached (see pic 3). The female incubates the eggs alone (see spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/334... - pic 3) 18 days later we found two little chicks!
