Crested Pigeons' nest

["Rod's Gardening" <>]

The "Currawong food factory" is still in operation - Currawong landed in front of me the other day in Holder carrying a young CP by the scruff of the neck.

 

A couple of other recent suburban obs:

-  in Kaleen a lone Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo munching noisily on Hakea seeds

 

-  back in Holder, a chorus of raucous Currawongs accompanied by an obvious distress call from another bird.  As I went to investigate a tawny/brown bird emerged from cover with about a dozen Currawongs in pursuit.  They all disappeared in the direction of Hindmarsh Drive.  It looked about two thirds the size of the Currawongs and I think it was probably a Boobook, though the call it was making was unlike any sound I have ever heard coming from a Boobook.  Any other suggestions?

 

Cheers
