I have just returned from Jerra Wetlands. We saw 5 RNHs and one of them was 
being harassed by a currawong.  Suddenly one RNH flew.  A total of 8 flew and 
at least 8 currawongs came to join in the harassment.  Quickly the RNHs landed 
in the trees, with the currawongs hanging about.

The best place to see the RNHs this morning was to stand above the huge root of 
a fallen tree, near Fulica hide
