Three choughs wandering apparently aimlessly around the perimeter of the Cemetry, oblivious to the approach of a Pied Currowong on the ground from the rear. The Chough turned its head a little as the Currawong gave a tentative peck at it then casually continued on looking for prey.  I have seen Magpies on the golf course ruthlessly swooping Choughs with a bit more success than the Currawon, but not enough to move them on.

 

I assumed that visitors from the surrounding flats were a common sight and probably feed the Choughs.

 

Unfortunately I missed the Sustainable Farms zoom on Friday which was about Choughs and Miners etc.

 

Very Interesting.
