Dettagli dell'osservazione
Great news! The known breeding pair in the reserve have succesfully fledged a new chick! Given the disaster of their breeding season last year, it is encouraging to see that they have found a way to keep breeding in the area. I was alerted to the possible presence of a new chick last night when I heard both male and female bird calling and then the begging cries of the chick. So this morning I went to investigate their usual summer roost and was glad to find the fledgling perched in a tree with its father (the female has an injured eye, making her easy to distinguish) who was holding the remains of a ringtail possum. They are completely at ease with my presence after years of observing them and, after checking out the visitor, the fledgling closed its eyes and went to sleep.
