Common Bronzewings making Royal Park their home

Common Bronzewing (Male)

This pair of male and female Common Bronzewings appeared to have settled at the Skink Habitat of Royal Park. They were known to show up once in a while prior to a few weeks ago. The female was observed first and, last week, the male appeared. Hopefully, the pair will mate and produce chicks. Looking forward to see what happens in the next few weeks.
