At the moment we have flying foxes coming in at night to feed on our
figs. The birds are still feeding in the fig tree as well...there were
several wattle birds in the tree when I arrived home about half an hour ago.

We have a large fig tree in our garden. About 10 days ago the figs
began to ripen. In came a few Indian mynas and starlings, also the
usual currawongs, wattle birds and silver eyes. We were not pleased
but we think that, as the figs ripen there are enough for us and the
birds. But, although there are more figs ripening each day, the birds
have gone. Why? and where? perhaps the currawongs have gone to near
Lindell's place to harass the young koel. What a good photo she took
of that young bird.
