Hi all
I have recently moved to a new house in Chadstone, Melbourne and into what can
only be described as the feral capital of the area. The first 7 species on the
house list were all introduced and up until yesterday the only natives that had
made the grade were the usual culprits of miner, magpie and rainbow lorikeet. I
was trying to do some work yesterday when i heard the call of a hobby so i
bolted to the window to see a very smart hobby on the back fence with a still
twitching starling in one talon which it then proceded to tear apart until the
kids from next door disturbed it, causing it to fly off. This morning there was
more squawking of starlings and mynas so i looked out again and there was a
grey butcherbird beating a sparrow against a branch which it then proceded to
eat.
Maybe there is hope yet
Cheers
Tim
