As a follow on from Martin's comments yesterday, I
was wondering if anyone can add to our understanding of the White-throated
Treecreeper behaviour we witnessed at Mount Jerrabomberra
yesterday.
We heard the birds calling (both types of calls),
and when we located them they flew around the general area for a while, both
male and female having a food item. They would sometimes go to the entrance to
the tree hollow, but it was only after a few minutes that the female entered the
hollow, but came out still with the moth. On our return trip we did not see
either bird.
