Ten minutes ago I was heading out to put food in the myna traps and heard the fairy wrens going off. I looked over and saw a grey butcherbird with a male SFW in its beak. It flew onto the fence and tried to hook him in the fork of a branch – no luck. It then flew onto the ground, put him into the fork of a small camellia and started plucking. After a couple of minutes it flew off with brekky. I’ve never seen a butcherbird in our yard, and had never been lucky enough to watch them in action – wow!
