That almost just happened in my garden……pair white eared honeyeaters landed in the birth bath ( I am doing the survey this is the first time I have noticed them in the bath before ) within seconds madam Currawong swings in and caused mayhem. They escaped thankfully.

Looked out the dining room window at 11:00 am today and saw a Pied Currawong perched on a branch of our Manchurian pear tree eating what appeared to be a White-eared Honeyeater. Went outdoors
and sneaked to within 10 metres of the brunching brute and confirmed the prey item. I’ve glimpsed small groups of W-e Honeyeaters ranging through the neighbour’s grevilleas during the past two weeks.
