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.
