The ANU Noisy Miners not only had a late breeding spell with 11 groups with
young in April, many groups have again young out/in the nest now. Walking
the campus this week (but not yet complete) I have come up so far with 15
groups with either young out or in the nest, some still building a nest (I
suspect after a failed earlier breeding attempt). However, Milburn's nest is
one I have not yet come across, so would greatly appreciate to learn where
exactly it is.
Interestingly, in April I could not find any other Noisy Miner groups
outside the ANU with young (Ainslie, O'Connor). However, all sites (not a
complete survey) I checked yesterday in Ainslie had either young out or
still in the nest (11 all together). And the O'Connor group from April had
certainly a nest with 3 large young in it last week.
I would be very interested to hear from members whether they have come
across young Noisy Miners this August/September in our area outside
suburbia.
