Dear All,
Spotted pardelotes are nesting in the side of a gully above my
house in Hackett,seems a little early?
As to Geoffrey Dabbs thoughts on Grey versus Pied Currawongs,
seven years ago,a Grey Currawong nested close to the bottom Yabby Pond below
the Mt Majura reservoir,on my runs it became apparent that the birds were
being harrassed by Pied Currawongs who after some days,eventually drove them
off the nest,seeing the two species together,the relative size of the beaks
was quite impressive,the Grey would seem a formidable adversary.The
Pieds,harrass the two Tawny Frogmouths in my Garden,so much so that they
have twice,to my certain knowledge driven them away.
Regards,Terry Gourlay.
