Many of our local birds are nesting and some are exhibiting aggressive behaviour. This unique photo from Victor Szwed captures an altercation between a little raven and a kookaburra but it’s not clear whether it’s a friendly conversation or a more serious dispute. According to Victor, the kookaburra is a regular visitor to their balcony where it has a commanding view of gardens below.
Watch out for birds protecting their young during spring months. It’s not just Australian magpies that swoop, although they cause the most concern. Magpie-larks, Plovers (Masked Lapwings), Grey Butcher Birds, Red Wattlebirds, and Laughing Kookaburras are also known to swoop during nesting season.
Our community is full of real photographers and budding photographers and a lot of people who aren’t even photographers but get some great photos on their mobile phones. Share your best photos with The Wombat Post community. Send them in!
