birding-aus Autumn breeding behaviour

[(Mike Tarburton)]

Greetings all

Comments, explanations or opinions would be most welcome."


Bill, breeding in autumn can occur is some species, if the environmental
stimulus to breed lasts long enough and there is enough food to sustain the
effort.

I have documented (in Emu) the autumnal breeding of Welcome swallows.

Then this often depends on the environment.  In Samoa i had swiftlets
breeding all the year round, and it looks as though something similar is
happening here in PNG.

Keep watching for it may happen.

Cheers
