Hi everyone

Mulligan's felt just so moist and earthy today. Great what a bit of rain will do. There are still 5 Banded Lapwing, which means the three chicks are surviving well. Still in the same territory. The other highlight were three Brown Treecreepers (more or less together) which were shortly afterwards joined by a fourth Brown Treecreeper. A pair of Galahs were inspecting a hollow - will the rain trigger another breeding round? There were many flowering eucs and much flowering mistletoe which had attracted more Noisy Friarbirds than I have seen before in Mulligans (plus a lone Superb Parrot feeding on the flowering mistletoe). There was lots of frog spawn in lots of new surface water. Good luck to the little blighters - they have had a tough decade.
