Yesterday I
observed that the Tawny Frogmouth nest with two chicks at Kambah Pool is still
going well with the chicks getting bigger and alert. Both Noisy Friarbird nests
in the car park and above the access road are now empty. I also noted one very vocal male Leaden Flycatchers around the car
park for the 30 minutes or so that I was there and wonder if it is nesting there
as they often nest near Noisy Friarbirds (though I didn't see a nest or a
female).
Whilst there I got a rather aggressive response from
a group of 4 chaps to my informing them that they shouldn't have their dog at
Kambah Pool. In particular to my saying "it is not my rules it is on the
signs" and the response with bits deleted: "but it is my rules and I do
what I want and have I seen the sign about no stalkers allowed
here."
Curiously on the last two days I have seen what I
assume to b the same young Crimson Rosella, (the mother of the brood that has
recently left the nest box in my yard) back at the nest box looking in and once
going in. I wonder if it is considering nesting again so quickly.
Also, for what it is worth, there is still the Koel
pair around my home.
