    Abstract

    This paper describes a likely incident of opportunistic depredation of a Superb Fairy-wren Malurus cyaneus nest by an uncommon predator, the White-browed Babbler Pomatostomus superciliosus, and presents the first photographic evidence of nest-depredation by this species. Potential implications of the observation are discussed in the context of detecting unexpected and uncommon nest-predators.
