Jude reported White-browed Woodswallows vigorously protecting their young
on the ground.
I observed the same behaviour last week at Campbell Park and naturally
moved on when I realised what the fuss was about.
Passing by the same spot an hour or so later, I observed a very different
behaviour. A young W-b Woodswallow (possibly the same one) was motionless on a
dead branch at eye level and doing its best Tawny Frogmouth impression. The
parents were nearby but kept silent as I moved in a little closer for a quick
photo.
Regards,
Leo.
