Thank you Martin, another informative graphic.  When this year is analysed we shall see the height of the W14 bar, but shall we ever be certain that a taller bar represents an exceptional year.  I would be interested to know whether such a careful observer as Michael has any feeling that this year is exceptional.

On Friday, 8. April, at the ANU a pair of Red Wattlebirds with a fully grown but still begging young. Parents fed it repeatedly.

On the same day in Civic a pair of Galahs feeding a young that looked as if it had left the nest hollow only very recently.
