Two more to add to the menagerie!

If you build it they will come” .... I know it’s a misquote and the context is wrong but it seemed appropriate. 

We have welcomed 2 new bird species to our garden in the last two days - a Little Raven and a pair of juvenile Magpie-larks AKA Peewee, peewit, mud lark, Murray magpies, and other names. We had heard them calling in the area and last night there they were come for a visit.  One of our juvenile currawongs popped in for a drink and forage too. All in all, we had 5 different species all ‘playing’ together nicely on our cosy terrace. Over the years we’ve had 14 species visiting us plus half dozen or so FIFOs. Not a bad count for inner city sky rise pad!

Plant the garden, bring the insects and the birds will follow - and leave some litter around for scavenging insects and for nest building material. What a joy it is in a sky-rise city garden tea la la ..... 🎶
