I enjoyed good views of this rarity twice yesterday. The second time it was in extremely close proximity with a toddler and his mum at the edge of the pond, who said it had been hanging around for 40 mins (waiting to capture a few crumbs). They thought it might be someone's escaped pet as it was so trusting around people. 

I am not sure how it will survive local dangers such as dogs, cats and traffic.

The Watson Apostlebird survived yesterday’s weather. This morning it spent most of the time I was watching it in the gardens of number 17 and the house next door eating grass seeds and dried worms that had not made it across the paths.
