White-winged Choughs in the suburbs

[Janet Russell <>]

In Aranda we have had them very occasionally on our GBS site and close by. In the past year we recorded 8 in October and apart from a solitary one in the following month, they have not been seen. Our closest scrub is about 250 metres away and Black Mountain across the GDE is about 700 metres.

This afternoon, to my surprise, there were 6 Choughs in the street outside my Weston house, foraging on crushed acorns (from several Oak trees planted on neighbours nature strips).  There were a couple of young birds in the group.  This is the first time Ive recorded Choughs in my GBS for 10 years (last in winter 2002).  Later I saw a couple of them moving east from tree to tree towards the green strip between Oakey Hill and and Mt Taylor (about 350 metres away).   Has anyone had Choughs foraging similarly in their suburb away from the green strips?
