This morning whilst in a hurry to get to Bargara
(15 Min away),I noticed a large pidgeon in a carpentaria palm next to our
trampoline. On closer inspection it was a magnificently coloured
Wompoo.Unfortunately I had to leave after a couple of photos.We live on an
acre and a half right in the middle of Bundaberg with a bird list of over
130.When we moved in 9 years ago there was only 1 tree;now there's
1000+
It's amazing the radars on these Wompoos....that
palm is the only tree seeding at present.Any suggestions as to how they manage
to source out the only fruit in the area.?...I've seen the Wompoos in
rainforests but never 6 metres from a residential home....hopefully he's not
here because of a lack of food anywhere else.For the moment,though he's more
than welcome.Bill
