WOW, this is CLUNKY David, thank you very much for the pic. Never seen
anything like
it, a beacon for. Twitchers and the GSPs surviving the visual trauma.
Joking (?) aside, are these erections loaded with commercial. birdseed,
hopefully not to the extent of dependence ?
In any event, Sue is onto the Butcherbirds, but the feeding stations are
different I guess, how many are there, enough for the entire GSP population.?
Sue is doing a great job, does she hail from the US,. Should be more like her.
Does she have Golden hair flowing down to her shoulders ?
Whatever, the status of that beautiful parrot seems secure pro tem, there
should be more people like Sue.
We saw a Red Goshawk in flight up there somewhere, but better, excellent multi
views at the Mataranka site on a later private trip ,the nest is probably
still there.
Let me know if you don’t know the location of the Mataranka Site if you still
need it.
Regards from us both
Michael
