bogong moth

["Rod's Gardening" <>]

Lots of Bogongs at the coast (Durras) on the weekend.  Also a hatch of 
flying (fluttering) insects - thousands of them.  I watched a Red Wattlebird 
gorging itself  while perched on the rail of the footbridge over Durras 
Creek.  They were so thick it simply snatched them out of the air virtually 
without moving.  A Noisy Friarbird was dining  likewise a short distance 
away but hadn't quite mastered the RWB's stationary technique.  Along with 
the usual coastal suspects there were several Fan-tailed Cuckoos calling, 
and a Boobook calling early on Monday evening.
Cheers
