CSH (Collared Sparrowhawk) restless in nest this morning
I am looking out for signs that the chicks have hatched. This morning around 7 am the adulton nest seemed restless , sitting quite high in nest and kept shuffling and putting head down under - have the chicks arrived???
Whipbirds courting this morning
Observed two whipbirds chasing each other around along creek near Field Studies Centre end - ntoable because much of it was right out in the open - they didn't seem to be wrried out this - they cetainly rushed across open areas at great speed as it usual.
