This morning we stopped and watched a
number of YTBCs in a tree just near where the bridge on the
bikepath from Scrivener Dam to Weston goes over Yarralumla Creek.
One of them was a juvenile being fed by a parent. Both the begging
sounds and the feeding method were extremely similar to what we
have observed in the past with Galahs, where the young bird's
wings are partly outstretched and its head is shaken violently
during the feeding process.

a dozen White-faced Herons on one of the sports ovals.
