White-winged Chough

[Coral Dow via Canberrabirds <>]

Over the last few years in my local area White-⁸winged Choughs have been more common in suburban Ainslie and Dickson (previously I've mainly seen them on Mt Ainslie). A group of about 10 I regularly see outside Emmaus school in Davenport st Dickson and I've even seen them scrounging rubbish at Dickson shops. On Wednesday 1 May found a dead banded bird outside Emmaus.
