The sixth Black Drongo of the season and a Northern Boobook starting to breed

The sixth Black Drongo of the season appeared. Like yesterday's bird, every individual this season has been strangely unafraid of people.

The Northern Boobook that breeds here every year has also arrived. The nest tree looks rather fragile, and I worry it might not survive a typhoon.
