Thankyou Penny and Michael for the following info about Asparagus Fern after
the recent Pied Currawong note:
"Get rid of the asparagus fern please"
Have complied with the request and also talked to the Bowen Shire Council.
Have also forwarded info to Mackay BOCA and Townsville BOCA plus BANQ.
This morning a slight birding commotion occured in our Travellers Palm. On
investigation by Laura and myself we discovered a pair of Tawny Frogmouths
roosting on a section of old dried frond and seed stem, exposed to the
morning sun. They were fluffed up and rounded with the background colour of
the dried fronds allowing the birds to blend in well until a pair of
Magpie-larks decided to annoy them followed by a Blue-faced Honeyeater and
an Australian Magpie.
This then attracted a pair of Yellow Honeyeaters followed by Pied Currawong
and Great Bowerbird carrying a Burdekin Plum fruit.
Following this interruption both Tawny Frogmouths adopted the long slender
posture.
The Travellers Palm is at least 5 m high and the birds settled at 2m and 2.5
m.
