It flew into my garden (top end of Tyson St, Ainslie) at 12 pm todayand perched at head height on a gutter, shrieking loudly, as the Redwattlebirds swooped it, squawking. They rapidly drove it into aneighbour's garden where it was when I took this, sorry, very badphoto with my tiny camera. Using binoculars, I noticed that sheraised a substantial 'crest' when in close defence. She stayed in oneposition for about an hour, constantly monitored by RWBs, almostappearing to go to sleep, then flew off north with the RWBs following.
