campbell park

[Elizabeth Compston <>]

The young frogmouth at Campbell Park  is sitting today in the  
chough's nest, beside his mum in exactly the same posture as his  
mum.  I wonder whether he will still be in the nest next Sunday.
I was dived by a magpie, near the horse gate; then the magpie was  
dived by a leaden fly catcher.  We found the fly catcher's nest and  
then spied a Horsefield's cuckoo nearby, also being dived by the fly  
catcher.  Is the cuckoo likely to predate the fly catcher's nest.?    
About 30 minutes later, a cuckoo (same one?) was in the vicinity of a  
triller's nest, just above the horse gate.  We found no other nests  
today, although we tried to follow fantails and whistlers.  No sign  
of jackie winter.
