Further to Chris Hastir's bowerbird sighting in
Wanniassa.
I live in Sullivan Cres up from
Longmore.
3 or so months ago saw at least 4 Satin Bowerbirds
in park at top of Sullivan Cres.
Since then a female has been visiting my garden
every now and then.
About 3 weeks ago walking the dog at 10am or so
heard a commotion in a tree off Harbison Cres below my house. Male and female
Satins. Watched them for a few mins and then another male arrived and the 2
males chased off somewhere.
Have seen the female in garden since. Probably the
same as the one Chris has seen.
This area is infested with Currawong's so a Satin
Bowerbird is a pleasant change.
Its possibly nesting. Whether that
nesting will survive the Currawong plague is problematic.
