Today, I noticed a pair of Pied Currawongs behaving strangely, calling and flying in and out of a large, densely foliaged, broad-leaved non-native tree in the next door garden; this has gone on frequently all
day. I finally managed to see a flying fox roosting there, which the PCs have been attacking since this morning. The FF is still there.
Cheers

Subject: [canberrabirds] Bower birds vs Flying Fox
This afternoon (3.30ish) , at Weston Park (Yarralumla) in a mulberry tree (in young unripe fruit), a single Flying Fox was very vigorously chasing off several green Satin Bowerbirds before settling down to nosh on the fruit. There was also
a Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike and a Currawong in and out of the tree.
