hello everyone
my name is steve and 12ks north of goulburn is my place .very private 100 acres and large comfortable shed. lots of birds considering we're 60% cleared .soaring wedgetail family of 3 are regualrs and shrike thrush ,fairy wrens and cormorants in the dams ,I've counted about 60 species in the last 2 years but my absolute (latest) favourite is the grey currawong.
WOW , I'd not heard it b4 and i thought it was a wedgetail at first?? ,very shy and elusive , now we seem to be used to each other and i can track them well.The flight is undulating and particular to this bird ,they have inquisitive eyes and expression if if your lucky to spot them. The call has a magical metalic ring , and they seem to be able to throw their voice into the hills so i never really know which way to look.
happy days
Hi and welcome Steve,
Your place sounds heavenly!! I have a similar experience with the pied currawongs locally. I live in a treed valley and they get up high in the trees and call with a variety of very melodic calls. You never know where they are as it seems to come from all directions.
If you haev a camera it's be great to see some wedgetails, but if not we all enjoying hearing about experiences anyway
Cheers
