glossy blacks on Mt. Majura

[Adam Spence via Canberrabirds <>]

The Glossy’s were present again this evening, and put on quite a show. 

Initially keeping to themselves in nearby branches, another smaller bird landed beside one of them, possibly a Noisy Miner. The Glossy promptly gave it a strong call and peck and sent it on its way.

The Glossy’s then relocated to a more exposed gun tree remnant and preened one another for about 3-5 minutes.

Finally they moved toward a nearby water source lower down the Mountain where Noisy Miners too exception to their presence and prompted them back to the higher bush.

A breeding pair perhaps? Sure get a good feeling.

Cheers,

Adam

Hi there,

My wife saw a pair of glossies on the western slope of Mt. Majura this
morning, and my son and I also saw a pair on Wed. in a similar location.
We first saw them this year on the 7th of Sept so possibly they are
breeding in the vicinity?


cheers,
Peter
