Sweet songsters

Posted on December 2, 2019 by | 1 Comment

At this time of year the sweet song of the Mistletoebird is a constant feature of the garden soundscape. We have a number of Yellow Gums on the block, with an ample supply of mistletoe berries to attract a regular stream of these beautiful songsters. Yesterday only males were about suggesting that their partners may be incubating nests in nearby gardens.
