A daring treetop mission has seen the years-long home of a pair of eastern ospreys rebuilt on the Sunshine Coast after a storm badly damaged it two years ago.
Sunshine Coast Council manages the Birtinya nesting platform and was alerted by residents when the breeding pair didn't return to rebuild their nest.
"The decision was made not to create an artificial nest structure there because we wanted the birds to be able to naturally rebuild — as they had before," said council conservation officer Kate Hofmeister.
