G'day all
 Paul's description  What a lot frenetic family fun.  Elsa reports that they appear mainly to be in groups of two adults and three offspring.
 
adds strength to Benj's suggestion 'My gut feeling is that the influx is a post breeding (nesting) dispersal in search of food.'
 
There is a lot of breeding activity this season.Choughs successfully bred this year near my house dam. As soon as the 3 young hatched and were able to fly the family group of now 9 disappeared presumably for less worked over pastures.
