some breeding timing - Red Wattlebird Dusky Moorhen

[Denis Wilson <>]

Just a thought. Might the early-breeding Wattlebirds be adapting their breeding times, in order to beat the Koels (of which this forum has been mercifully quiet so far)?

Cheers

Last Friday there were three Red Wattlebird nests, each with nestlings in them, in or near Turner.

We travelled to West Gippsland and on the Sunday I saw two sets of Red Wattlebirds with dy.

Are the West Gippsland wattlebirds forward?

Also, today at Floriade, in the Commonwealth Pond (which has had the reeds mown), a Dusky Moorhen nb in an exposed location.
