Good morning
The male nestling bronze wing at my place appears to have
successfully fledged last evening. I took the attached pic of
the female sitting near the nest just after 5.00pm. Sunset was
about 5:35pm and when I returned at 6:30pm with a torch, both
had gone. I checked around the nest for any evidence of the
nestling having been taken by currawongs but there was none. I
can only conclude that it left with its mother shortly after the
pic was taken.The previous day I saw the nestling testing its
wings in the nest ( to the annoyance of the male who was sharing
the nest). Curiously I saw no incidences of harassment from pied
currawongs yesterday despite them being an almost constant
presence over the previous three days. Maybe its bronze wings 1
currawongs 0.
