We had a young butcher bird sit in our front tree in Chapman this
morning and performed a beautiful song for around 7 to 10 mins - what a
melody!!  We've lived there since 92 and it's our first.

In the last week, Ive had a young Grey Butcherbird around my Weston
garden.
This is only the third record in 23 years of GBS surveys.  This bird had

caught something, had wedged it in a tree, and was tearing off chunks -
possibly a young blackbird, judging by the noisy adult blackbirds
nearby.

Im aware from the CIMAG chatline, that others in Chapman and Garran have

reported butcherbirds around their gardens for the first time or first
time
in many years.
cheers
Jenny
