Cast query

[Denis Wilson <>]

I have often seen such things, with beetle wings evident,
I have always assumed them to be Currawong pellets (regurgitations).
I do know they regurgitate undigested kernels of plant seeds, for example (which incidentally, are great for germination of native plants - but be prepared to weed out the weedy plants).

In January on a track in Campbell Park, I noticed a number of apparent casts heaped around a stone (see attached photo)- mostly containing insect parts I think - and was intrigued by the number possibly implying some sort of regular use of the stone? .
Any suggestions re bird involved? (The original larger photo has much better cast details).
