Oh well, I suppose because Brisbane lacked that dirty smoggy city/suburb feeling they just seemed to be more pleasant.  Anyway, messages received and understood.  As an aside, the same tree used to be an evening roosting point for maybe 50 Mynas until about 3 yrs ago.  After that, Blackbirds nested successfully there but now appear to have been displaced.  All in all that's probably an undesirable smorgasbord - maybe that tree has to go!
 
And in further developments, a white egg shell, intact but punctured and empty, (since further damaged by inquisitive grand daughter) has been found on the ground beneath the suspect tree.  Not sure it would be of any use in Mark's collection. 
 
Further, I regret to advise another TD spotted while I was working in Campbell yesterday.
 
Cheers
