I found the egg (photo attached) in the middle of a
lawn I was mowing today in Holder. It's intact but a bit the worse for
wear. I am wondering which species it belongs to - my guess is Magpie
- and how it may have got there given that there are no obvious nests in
the tall trees in the immediate vicinity (the nearest tree being about 20 metres
away). Any ideas?
Also in Holder, on Sunday while glued to the TV
watching the Raiders achieve their excellent win, I was momentarily distracted
by the sight outside of a large "V" formation of Straw necked Ibis. I
couldn't get an accurate count but I would guess at least 40 birds flying
directly over my house - a noteworthy first for me in this area.
Cheers
Rod
