On our land in Bundaberg we have several paperbark trees (Melaleuca quinquenervia). We have a flock of 8-10 Grey-crowned Babblers that built nests in many of these trees. About a fortnight ago we watched a Laughing Kookaburra continually visit one of these nests. At first we thought the Kookaburra was attacking an active Babbler nest but we realised the Kookaburra was rearranging the sticks of a disused nest. It is now a saucer shape and the bird has been sitting on it for a week. It appears there are only a pair of Kookaburras not a family group which helps. However we will know more when the eggs hatch. A friend, Deane Lewis took a photo yesterday and I put it on my PBase site here http://www.pbase.com/trevor_quested/image/153161945 =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
