Marnix  -    I think we settled after some discussion that the apparent
(centre-stage) Apple Box is a Bundy E goniocalyx.  Steve Holliday tells me
that the calling frog is a Common Froglet    g

Well I popped out at lunchtime today and there they were. At least 6 birds
roosting in an Apple Box by the drain at the north end of the reservoir.
They dropped down to drink at one point and were occasionally chased by a
Noisy Miner but not far.
As I stood there a pair of Wedge-tailed Eagles soared overhead displaying
beautifully just above the trees.

On a different subject can someone enlighten me as to what species frog I
keep hearing calling from the eastern end of the drain. My best guess is
its a Whistling Tree Frog or possibly another Litoria species. Quite a few
froglets were calling today as well.

Cheers
