Yesterday I went to look for the Apostlebird at North Watson pond. It was foraging on the mulched nature strip of no.15 and ambled up to me, very tame. We communed for a few minutes then I walked across the road and around to the other side of the pond, and was admiring the coot family (still 5 youngsters) when the Apostlebird landed at my feet. After a while it moved off into the grass, then we both walked back across the road to the nature strip. No trouble from a Miner bird on the same patch. It looked in good condition. Libby

Hi Everyone,

The Apostlebird is still located at the North Watson Wetlands and appears quite happy feeding and posing for many photos!

Also present were at least 5 Coot chicks. Thanks to those who reported them.

Cheers
Julie
