Noisy Friarbirds

[Terry Munro <>]

This morning there were around 8 Noisy Friarbirds 10 RedWattlebirds & 10 Currawongs feeding on lerp in our front street trees (Euc Polyanthmos?). Others feeding on lerp in the street trees nearby were Crimson Rosellas, Rainbow Lorrikeets, & Noisy Miners. Numbers seem to thin out later in the day.

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.

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.
