9am at Currawang. Two amorous Grey Fantails feeding amongst Yellow-rumped Thornbills in dirt of horse paddock. The male continually flew extravagant loop-de-loops landing with leaps and hops towards the object of fascination, she responding in between feeding with little hops, he then tackling her with great enthusiasm but less gallantry.  Pallid Cuckoo called nearby and the entire little bird population disappeared into nearby shrubbery.
