A Grey Currawong fossicking in the flower beds at rear of Kippax Library early this morning before the sky clouded over. I watched it for three minutes before it flew
off carrying fibrous-looking material.
Earlier on, I was surprised to see a flock of some 30 Silvereyes, a conservative estimate because counting would have been futile as they hopped, skipped, jumped and fluttered
among the blossoms of our sprawling apricot tree. During spring ( but not last year) it’s usual to see groups of about 7 – 10 moving through our flowering trees, but a flock of around thirty is a stand-out record in my local observations.
