Hi all,
It is still Winter here at 'Koornong' but there are a few signs of an
approaching Spring. We have had some good rain, the sun is shining
occasionally and grass and weeds are growing.
Wood Ducks have been very noisy and spending much time in trees recently but
have fairly quiet, presumably they have found nest sites or have left to
look for some.
The Striated Pardalotes are very vocal; so are the Spotted Pardalotes and
one pair have been renovating last year's nest, which they enter though a
hole in the concrete retaining wall in the carport.
Magpie groups are arguing in several places and at least one pair are well
advanced with their nest.
Grey Shrike-thrush are also very vocal and a/the pair are spending time
inspecting the saucepan in the tractor shed again - they have raised two
broods each of the last three years.
I saw a pair of New Holland Honeyeaters copulating on Monday.
