We have had up to 20 Noisy Friarbirds around (Cook) for the past week or two. Along with a similar number of wattlebirds they have been feasting on lerps on the Red Box.

 

Cheers

I have just noticed many of them around my home yesterday and today, after being unusually absent or nearly so, for most of summer.

Probably driven out of the Brindabellas by the huge prescribed burns.

About week ago I reported that the NF had suddenly disappeared from around my residence in Watson - well they’re back again in big numbers. Red Wattlebird numbers have remained throughout.
