Interesting!
Yesterday I observed a Grey Butcherbird in our yard for the first time ever
in almost 30 years at this address in Scullin

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
