Hi Russell
This message is from Dr. Ronda Green, Griffith University. She asked
me
to put it on the Birding Aus chatline but as I don't have access, would
you please?
I've just returned from a meeting of traditional owners in western
Arnhem
Land. All are happy with the Baby Dreaming project, A custodian of
other
country in central Arnhem Land wants to open up his country now - I'm
going there next week.

Yours sincerely John A. Gamblin "GO YOU BEAUTIFUL MAGPIES"
Hullo John, very glad to see you back.
What's wrong with my front :^D>>>
I hope you are well, and all your bird friends too. Your shadecloth idea for
the Willywag protection is just what I would suggest. A relation once solved a
similar problem with a large empty fern-basket, upside-down like a lampshade,
above the nest; I have also seen an old umbrella with almost no cloth left on
it, just the spokes. W-Wags didn't mind.
All the best,
Hay nonie mouse pea son
I recently made a hanging nest box for the same and it's in use as I type.
"Gough" bless the real fibre mat makers. I lined the hanging nest with coconut
matting type product. Natural matted fibres. I might make these up for special folk in
Brisbane and Adled aid eh? I'll also take some photo's for you when I can Arnff okay.
Ooroo I gotta dash as Eggy needs her scarf and beanie put on straight.

<DIV>G'day my dah lynne's,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My health is much improved and I thank you all for asking.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Birds do miss their owners but then again who really owns a bird eh? I think
they own us.</DIV>
<DIV>I thought you both might like this song rewrite on this Magpie day down here ... you
should see the Hastings township black and white streamers everywhere, "Stewie" my local
butcher is selling black and white sausages and even the weather is now turning black and
white.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Re: Love of Willy Wagtails over 90 per cent of loss of Oz bird species is caused by the actions of
thoughtless man, dare I say it? "European thinking man". Hey what happened to the Equal Opportunity act eh? or
does that mean forty five percent is caused by man and forty five per cent by "Woe Man"
:^D>>>></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope you like this one and can figure out how much a little black and white girl
missed someone? she really did pine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I sing:</DIV>
<P>I see this pair of big brown eyes,</P>
<P>She eats her meat with a little rice,</P>
<P>I hurry to a spot, that?s just a dot, on my mat,</P>
<P>Those eyes,</P>
<P>Her thighs,</P>
<P>Their part of the magpie trap,</P>
<P>Some starry night,</P>
<P>When she hears young JAG?s new jingle,</P>
<P>She sings it right,</P>
<P>And she sets his heart yeah, all a tingle,</P>
<P>Some birds are throwing cream with rice,</P>
<P>JAG thinks that?s yum and kinda nice,</P>
<P>He hurries to a spot, that?s just a dot, on his mat,</P>
<P>Those eyes,</P>
<P>Those thighs,</P>
<P>Their part of her magpie trap,</P>
<P>No band on hand in their trees,</P>
<P>And soon their music is in the breeze,</P>
<P>I?m acting kind of smart, until my heart just goes zap!</P>
<P>Those trees, that breeze, it?s part of the magpie trap,</P>
<P>Some starry night,</P>
<P>When she hears young JAG?s new jingle,</P>
<P>She sings it right,</P>
<P>And she sets his heart, yeah all a tingle,</P>
<P>I wonder how this all came about,</P>
<P>It's too late now I just can?t get out,</P>
<P>I fell in love, and love is a magpie trap</P>
<P>Sinned cere Apologies to Frank Sinatra</P>

<DIV>G'day Margaret,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have personally found if you improve the covering that once was afforded to
the willy wagtails nesting area this sure helps. A small tent of green coloured shadecloth
worked for me as a temporary measure. Has the nest area been disturbed lately, at all?,
prior to or after nest building? is the Willy Wagtail nest now exposed to aerial Magpie and
or Crow views? Tis the way of the wild for some birds to be predators and to survive thus.
Survival of the fittest or most numerous. Would you believe that once upon a time there was
only two POMES .... now look how many we've got.</DIV>
