This blog is to share my photographs of, and enthusiasm for, the native birds living around and passing by the base of Mount Majura, Canberra, Australia. It was inspired by the swanlings at the bottom of my street. All photographs have been taken on local walks.

White-winged Chough nest
Conveniently, some choughs made their mud nest right over a walking track on lower Mount Majura. Choughs are earth construction experts.
It's quite like a magpie lark nest isn't it? I'm not familiar with these birds though.
ReplyDeleteThe choughs are very cool, thickset and stocky and stomp around. I have heard them referred to as 'the mafia'!
ReplyDeleteDo you have Apostlebirds where you are?
