Have you seen this? A male bird I presume, first with a grass ribbon in it’s bill shaking it as if to say look here while about 3 other birds flit about in the area. Then the same thing with wattle twig with leaves on it but this time he jumps up and down repeatedly on a branchlet of a shrub and three what I assume are females, come close and perch with him on the branchlet ( this appeared very amusing to me and reminded me of one of the New Guinea birds I have seen on film ). After this and even more exciting for him, a white feather is picked up from the ground and waved about vigorously – unfortunately I can’t tell you of any outcome as he disappeared underneath the shrubbery because not long after that a flock moved up and out of the garden.
There seem to be a lot of birds coming into the garden this week.
