The red wattlebirds fledged a single chick in my
GBS site either on 31/7 or 1/8 (and by 4/8 it was in a tree over 50 m away)
while the masked lapwing is sitting on 2 eggs on a lawn in Percy Cres
Chapman.
Saw a pair of Pied Currawongs exhibiting mating
behaviour yesterday, including copulating, selecting sticks and bringing
them to a nest site. In the midst of this a Grey Currawong arrived,
the first for the winter. As a follow up to the recent
discussions on this list there seemed to be limited, if any, interaction
between these two species, with the bigger bird largely ignored
by the pair, despite it calling loudly.
