The birds often perch in pairs. Based on the length of the tail streamers and the colour of the throat, I think these are male (left) and female (right).

They tilt their heads back and forth, searching for flying insects.

Female (right) and male on nest.

Male delivering a feed of fish to female (having earlier eaten its head).

Female flies off to eat her share elsewhere.

A nearby pole serves as a convenient lunch spot.

Female flying in with additional nesting material.

About to land…

She carefully places the new branch in just the right position.

Home renovations take a lot of effort!

Male flying over the estuary searching for prey.

Like other sundews, this plant traps insects in drops of glue secreted from glands on its leaves. But it is unique among the sundew family in having narrow, forked leaves.
