There has been a juvenile grey butcherbird hanging around my area of Fraser on
the NE side of Mt Rogers for a couple of weeks, more often heard than seen. It
is a bit of a rarity around here especially one that stays as long as it has.
Yesterday I was shovelling compost into a wheelbarrow and suddenly it appeared
on the edge of the barrow and proceeded to have a cockroach entree followed by
several slaters as main course. All within a metre of me! I slowly backed away
and watched for about 10 minutes as it methodically worked its way across the
heap of compost in the barrow. It was rich pickings.
