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.

Michael
