g'day all,
1
Rear Vision Mirrors
On one occasion a family of Grey-crowned Babblers (GcB) were
pecking both my vehicles rear vision mirrors for some time.
On that day the breeding pair apparently
had young in a nearby nest which was separate from the two dormitory
nests.
2
Drinking
I, like most people have seen thousands of Willy Wagtails, but
I have only seen one dipping its beak into water and apparently
drink.
(Maybe it was looking at its reflection and when it pecked the
water it appeared to drink ?)
I have never seen the GcB drinking. But once, on a relatively
warm day, they queued up to individually plunge into a water hole
and immediately jump out and give themselves a dog like shake.
Regards, Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW
