Time for another wet-weather story perhaps. At Turlee
Station last week the location of a malleefowl nest was indicated to me. Despite
a few early morning sorties to the spot I never actually sighted the
bird. However, the mound had all the appearance of being currently
worked. One morning nearby I found fresh tracks that seemed to me could
only have been made by a malleefowl. Just a couple of metres away were
other tracks that seemed to me rather foxlike. If so, the prospects for a
successful breeding might not be good. Perhaps a track expert out there
can confirm my suspicions, or otherwise.
