As I was walking a dog along Launceston St. by the Canberra College close to the Yamba Drive I found an impaled Pardalote. A thin twig pierced through a breast to the back. In Japan a shrike is supposed to do this kind of things, though a prey
is not as large as this, I think. It looks as if a strong wind broke the twig and the dead bird fell on the path. Would a Grey Butcherbird do this? A Currawong would eat it on the spot? He ate a House Sparrow in a tree in our garden. I do not recall hearing
any Grey Butcherbird calling around this area. Who is responsible? Can anyone tell me?
