Lots of commotion earlier.  A goshawk has entered the territory here.  Of course, the "soldier birds" (noisy mynahs)  sounded the alarm and have continued with the boozy, frenzied cheering.

Intermittent dive bombing from the pair of magpies, has been interspersed with the Butcher Birds' noisy attacks   There will be a quiet period.  Then the hawk decides to move to another tree with renewed bombardment from the new-parent teams.

All is quiet for now, but I still spy him.  

The nesting honeyeaters have not been flying around at all, they may have put their chicks on a "fast" by staying away and not bringing attention to the nest -  because their chicks are super noisy when being fed.

Your regular programming will be interrupted when more news comes to hand.....reporting for the Community Central Coast News, I'm DEB.

(From the Director of News of the CCCN, please no more comments on the hair, mode of dress, style of glasses, colour of lippy.  Your suggestions will be considered.  And thrown into the recycling bin.)
