At the Pegasus Riding School, Holt, this morning we saw a Pallid
Cuckoo perched mutely on a fence post and approached to 25m before it left. The
post was spattered with droppings which we assume were the leavings of said
cuckoo, and these contained ~30 of what appeared to be the skins of small, red
earth worms. Bit further along were a pair of fence-sitting, tail-swishing Jacky
Winters ( Jack & Jill Winter, I presume). Also a Spotted Dove. First
I've noticed in Belconnen.
High overhead some 40 Dusky Woodswallows circled like little winged
dervishes swirling on a Brindabella zephyr
