Over the past three years I have seen a few kookaburras breeding in
Belconnen:
- in a hollow remnant E blakelyi (I was alerted by a myna removing 2
eggs);
- in a hollow modern E globulus - mynas also bred there in the same
season (the tree has been cut down - perhaps a classic case of
victim blame);
- in hollow exotic trees in the Ginninderra Creek corridor.
So far this season I have seen kookaburra breeding activity only in
the exotic trees.
