I might not have noticed it as it blended so well into the background.
It was Ripper's sniffing around it that drew my attention to this beautifully built humpy.

The above picture shows an incomplete part of the humpy (left open for ventilation, perhaps?) and you can see the underlying structure of sticks and twigs leaning against an overhanging branch of the supporting tree.

We continued on our walk through Adenia Reserve, and I took the following shots of Ripper in this bush setting, which I rather like, not long after sunrise (which is about 7am these days).
