Some months ago I promised to try to photograph a Yellow-rumped Thornbill swinging upside down. Yesterday I observed one exhibiting this behaviour and will try to get some shots next weekend. This is the first time I have seen them doing it this season, I have regularly observed the behaviour in previous years. The birds appear to be becoming more used to the presence of my wife and I and so don't bother with the distraction display. Yesterday's event took place when our local male Magpie landed near their nest tree and the display took place on a small branch near the Magpie and was obviously directed at him. It ceased when the Magpie flew off. Paul Osborn Research Scientist BHP Research - Newcastle Labs PO Box 188 Wallsend, NSW, 2287 Ph: (02) 49792705 VPN: 8843 2705 Fax: (02) 49792022 |
