On Red Hill this morning:
- Speckled Warbler
- White-winged Triller (male, breeding plumage). Bit hard to get a good view, but twice I thought I saw
a bluey-grey patch right on the crown.
- Two Noisy Friarbirds harassed by Noisy Miners. (Very noisy)
- Several groups of Weebills.
At home, I followed a strange noise which sounded like a Satin Bowerbird but I wasn’t sure. Continuously repeated downward churrs – not a deep churr, sometimes
sounded like a magpie. Found the bird high in a tree almost precisely over its bower (a blue bird). Then as I rounded a corner towards home, two SBBs high in another tree, the blue bird chasing the green bird. Not what I expected for courting behaviour.
Perhaps the green bird was an immature male being chased off.
