Sometimes it is hard to know if people are being serious or not. I
don't know these two birds at all, so I have no idea. However the picture no
more tells me that it is she
was telling him off and this was definitive proof that they were a couple
than that they are each a half of two couples and having a bit of a
territorial dispute. I don't know what is the full story. It could be either
story or something else.

I understand that for several
years a mixed pair (Little and Long-billed) of Corellas has been observed at
Callum Brae. In a walk out there yesterday, we note one of each species
inspecting different hollows a meter or so apart. It wasn't clear whether they
were a pair or not ... but when I sent this picture to David Clark, his
interpretation was that she was telling him off and this was definitive proof
that they were a couple.
