Today I had at least four non-altitudinally
challenged Tree Martins flying high over the house. In contrast I had one
altitudinally challenged (i.e. low) White-winged Chough in the site. The chough
was foraging silently. Surprisingly this is the first ever White-winged Chough
at my GBS site (in my 20th year here), even though there is regularly a group at
the Kambah side of Mt Taylor that sometimes go on the sports field. The sites in
Kambah that have had them before, are closer to Mt Taylor or the Kambah Pool
road than where I am.
Yesterday I wrote about the Australian Ravens
building a nest in the big tree in my yard. They appear to have moved to another
tree. The white feathers in the right wing of one raven with are
actually inner primaries.
