The currawongs are nesting for the third year in the tree at the end of my street.  I don’t hate currawongs and I have never seen the adults bring in anything higher up the evolutionary scale than insects (except for meat provided by humans).

Remember I was complaining about Ravens a few weeks ago? Well their old nest in the garden next door has been taken over by Australian Hobbies! My attention was drawn by a whole lot of wittering going on at the top of the tall eucalypt. There they are in full view doing all the things the field guide says they should! Best of all, unlike the ravens who have thankfully moved house, the Hobbies don’t dunk gross stuff in my bird bath. These are much better mannered neighbours. My GBS has moved up market J
