A record of the nesting sequence of two pairs of N.I. fantails (Rhipidura fuliginosa placabilis) is given, seven nests being built by one pair, and six by the other. The effects of weather conditions on nesting, and of clutch size on the fledging period, are further discussed. The inhibiting effect of cold weather on nest-building and laying is demonstrated.
