Spotted Pardalotes started nest-building in my compost heap about
10 days ago; they appear to have desisted, but are still hanging around and
calling and looking intently at the heap. ??? A Pied Currawong wrestled a
largish stick off a eucalypt near the Pinnacle NR, and flew off with it towards
Hawker on Monday. And today, I noticed a Masked Lapwing sitting presumably on a
nest in the spot where the species has bred regularly over many years, in the
middle of a disused petrol station on the corner of Petterd and Ogilby Sts,
