Restless Flycatcher. 
Gould , Handbk. Bds. Aust., Vol. i., sp. 141, p. 246. 
“ The nest of this Flycatcher, like those of most of the family 
is round and cup-shaped, two and a-half to three inches across by 
one and a-quarter deep, and placed upon a horizontal bough over 
a fork, or by the side of an upright twig ; it is chiefly composed of 
bark and grass neatly interwoven ; the lining is of grass, hair, or 
roots, and the edges often ornamented with lichen fastened on 
by cobweb. It is usually placed at a considerable distance from 
the grouud, and often near the end of a dead bough. The eggs 
are two or three in number, from nine to ten and a-half lines in 
length by seven and a-half iii breadth, rather rounded in form, 
having the ground colour of a dull white, stained with spots and 
blotches of dull chestnut-brown and greyish-lilac, the latter 
appearing as is beneath the surface. In most of the specimens 
the spots form only a distinct zone nearer the larger end, but in 
some are sprinkled over the whole surface. The birds are for the 
most part found breeding in October, November, and December, 
but sometimes earlier or later. They have two broods in the year.”
