Further to my earlier posting re harassment of Kookaburras, one Willie Wagtail insisted on jumping on the back and /or head of the Kookaburra and pecking it (hard) three or four times before retreating. This behaviour continued for over five minutes with the Kookaburra only attempting to retaliate twice. I have seen Willie Wagtails harass other species before but not by actually landing on the target. I guess he was lucky to find a tolerant Kookaburra. Terry Pacey |
