…is still in the same general area in the ANBG
at 1:30 pm today. Not much else in the gardens but a young Wedge-tailed Eagle
flew over as did a group of about 15 Dusky Woodswallows. A single Mistletoebird
was calling plus the usual species expected there. My overall impression was
that there really are very few birds compared to years ago, something I have
commented on previously. I have been going to the gardens for over 40 years
(from before they were open to the public) and still can’t work out why
numbers are decreasing. I don’t believe it is because the plants are “getting
old” as new plants are being added to the gardens all the time, nor do I think
that Pied Currawongs are to blame. Anyone care to comment?
Cheers,
Mark
