Hi again,
We did finally find the third nest of the Western Gerygone and this one
might produce young. The adults are currently feeding young (and taking
away waste) and I believe that fledging is imminent.
The Crested Pigeon young are small replicas and about half the size of the
adult.
The Collared Sparrowhawk downy chick/s were visible in the nest for the
first time this morning.
Juvenile Red-browed Finch and Superb Fairy-wren abound and a fledgling
Galah, unable to fly yet, turned up in the garden this morning.
Very few Rainbow Bee-eaters have been seen but a few, high flyers, maybe
about six in total, have been heard so it again appears to be a poor year
for them. The second Sacred Kingfisher sighting for the year occurred this
morning.
Purple-crowned Lorikeets were in the leucoxylon (which produced lots of
blossom but attracted few birds) today but the Regent and Scarlet H/Es of
last year have not been seen.
