Hi All
I have been watching Brown Thornbills chasing each other around my garden at
Sorrento, southern Victoria for days and thinking "I know what is on your
minds".
This was confirmed a few minutes ago when I was alerted to very agitated
Brown and Yellow Thornbills. The object of their concern was a Fan-tailed
Cuckoo that wasn't very keen to move on and when it did only changed trees.
Did the cuckoo know where a nest was, was it testing the area to see where
the loudest response came from or was it causing a distration for its mate
[which I didn't see] to whip in and lay an egg?
Cheers
Val
ps The thornbills were making such a din that the Blackbirds and a
Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater came up to see what was causing the alarm.
