G'day,
Saw three Dollarbirds at
lunch today in a large gum at the end of southern Gellibrand Street (cul de
sac), Campbell, just inside the Mount Pleasant Nature Reserve. Two were
obviously courting (bobbing up and down and calling) and one was watching from a
higher branch. I watched them for about five minutes before I moved on. There
were also flocks of Rainbow Bee-eaters around Mt Pleasant itself, largest about
eight birds.
For those interested
the Grey-crowned Babbler is back (if it ever left) at RMC. Saw it in a
pine near Oval 3 off Hopkins Drive, Duntroon.
