Folks,
Something like 60 Cattle Egrets on on a couple of
adjacent sporting ovals in Glen Waverley (south-west corner of Waverley &
Springvale Roads), about 20 km east-south-east of Melbourne to-day, in spite of
complete lack of livestock. Noticeable aggression between individuals over
immediate foraging locations within the flock. Also the Crested Pigeons
continue to reside at Glendal Primary School, a few km further north - ten
counted yesterday on the sports oval, and presumed courtship behaviour observed
- birds bowing and rasing fanned tails towards each other.
Regards,
Jack
