Fwd: RE: Errors in statistsic

It would be interesting to know what is really behind the decline in Bush Thickknees down south. They are doing quite well in Queensland – they are regulars in inner Brisbane, and back yards on the Bay Islands, so they can handle suburban environments. I’ve been watching a nesting pair in the inner city – one chick hatched a few days ago, but the adults were staying put, which I guess means there was another one yet to hatch. That is interesting, as I would have thought the eggs would have hatched around the same time. Regards, Laurie.
