I feel a graph coming on!  Watch out for Gang-gang in April.

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
