Mark, this is another remarkable event.
As summarised in my CBN article (43, 143-148, 2018) about Grey Butcherbird
breeding in Chapman and the double clutch in Rivett, according to the BIRD INFO
data on the COG web site the following has been observed: nests with young in
August, October and November, and dependent young from October to March.
The young from the second brood in Rivett fledged after mid-December, so in
particular the former seems to have been extended by a whole 4 months towards
the end of April.
I agree it would be lovely to see the whole family together in your garden.
Regards
Jack holland

Subject: another late breeding event.
I have a pair of Grey Butcherbirds that come in for a free handout. I know from
previous experience over the last couple of years that when they fly in a
certain direction they have been feeding young, probably in the nest. Lately
this has been happening again and a few minutes ago the female arrived with a
recently fledged young. The male bird has not yet arrived so far this morning
so may be off nearby with another juvenile. I will certainly get to know
if/when the whole family arrive together.
Mark
