Last month, I placed a report re the White-faced
Heron placing twigs in the bird-bath.
The activity continued the same until recently, but
I now have a new WFH, which I think is the latest offspring of the female who
has been coming for years. It is an extremely agressive bird with
extra long legs, and will not tolerate the other two birds in the
yard.
It does the same twig trick, but now it is up to 12
twigs in the bird-bath.
During the recent heavy rains, that same WFH stood
in 5 mm of water left laying on the lawn, doing the typical foot-shaking routine
to disturb the "fish" which might be lurking!
Meantime, the once very common grass skinks are
swiftly becoming a rarity in my yard.
