It would appear from the response to yesterday's
posting that Dusky Woodswallows are still about. They have certainly gone
from my patch so I wonder if the remainder are intending to stay.
Concerning the Chats at Stromlo Forest Park the
largest number now appears to be between 25-30 recorded on 17
April and then confirmed the next day. If, as it appears from
the spring surveys, there were 4 pairs present and these pairs produced 5 young
each on average then it is possible that the group are all on-site birds.
I note there were 30 birds reported on 14 May 2008.
