There were two clans in Glebe Park last year but they didn't get that numerous.  I suspect some visitors from Commonwealth Park have come to check the territory.  One lot nested near the dunny.

There were 30 – 35 choughs in Glebe Park near the entry from Amaroo Street today.  There is one nest in a willow about 100 metres along that path with some choughs visiting it..  Is it unusual to have such a large number of choughs?  Quite a bit of courting behaviour going on with several of them.  Perhaps the group will split up?
