Hi all. Friday’s Sustainable Farms webinar ‘Choughs, noisy miners and boosting bird diversity on farms’
https://www.sustainablefarms.org.au/fielddays/webinar-choughs-noisy-miners-and-boosting-bird-diversity-farms
was excellent. They said that the recording will be posted to their website in a few days time. Highly recommended.
Best wishes - David

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Choughs in Woden Cemetry
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.
