The Grey Currawong has been in the Callum Brae area for a while now. I
thought I saw one in the last week of September from my office window, but
wasn’t 100% sure due to how quickly it zipped through. However, I saw it on
consecutive days 7th->9th October sitting 10 metres away on the wire fence
outside my office window. It spent a couple of hours each day hunting amongst
the tall grass in the adjacent field.
Interestingly there was full scale war between the Little Ravens and Pied
Currawongs at the time, yet the Grey Currawong was not harassed at all. It was
even sitting next to a Little Raven on the fence for about 2 minutes at one
point.
Cheers

I saw and badly photographed what I thought was a grey
currawong at Nursery Corner, Callum Brae, this morning. I have just
checked out its unmistakeable call, and I am now 99% certain it was a grey
currawong. I have attached the link to the call I checked
out.
