This bird nests in one particular type of location and nowhere else. Nests are to found only by a roadside which has an overhanging lip on the bank of the road or in similar sites within the forest terrain. Here the bird is pictured just outside of a new nest into which it will take a thick piece of Spider web. Note the diagnostic black patch over the ear coverts.
