Hi
All – Last year we had two tawnies that roosted in the same tree on
O’Connor Ridge then in mid December 2011 we had four, 2 adults and 2 juveniles
although they had shifted across the path to another tree. They departed the
area for awhile then in late February 2012 there were two not knowing of course
whether these were the same birds form the original four. We then had a period
absence and now in the past few days we are back with only one Tawnie. All very
perplexing as we always look forward to their presence each day and of course
you wonder why only one now. I have looked at our bird book collection but there
is no reference to the pairing habits of Tawnies or whether it is unusual to
find one on its own.
