Title: | Breeding behaviour of the restless flycatcher near Armidale, New South Wales | Contributor(s): | Debus, Stephen J S (author); Lollback, Greg (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/3500 | Abstract: | A pair of Restless Flycatchers 'Myiagra inquieta' was observed in eucalypt woodland near Armidale, New South Wales, for 10.2 hours over 5 days during the nest-building (6 h) and early incubation phases (4.2 h) in spring 2000. Male and female had similar rates of nest-building visits (7 and 4.5 visits/h respectively) and contributions to incubation (60% and 46% of incubation time respectively), covering the eggs for 52% of observation time. Male and female also called from the nest during both phases, including while incubating, at similar rates; the 'whistle' and 'grate' call types were given at similar rates by both sexes. Incidental observations of two pairs over 2 years, on nesting chronology, nest-sites, fledgling behaviour and nest success (14%, n = 7), are given. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Field Ornithology, 22(1), p. 22-28 | Publisher: | Bird Observers' Club of Australia | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1448-0107 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060207 Population Ecology | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 960804 Farmland, Arable Cropland and Permanent Cropland Flora, Fauna and Biodiversity | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.birdobservers.org.au/Publications_AFO.asp |
