Many species of small birds slowly start to leave the gully at this time, at the end of the breeding season. There are a few less than usual at the moment due to the hungry young Goshawks. A pair raised 2 or 3 chicks in the top of a big ironbark and they have been terrorizing the small birds for a few weeks. This one was at rest near the birdbath drooling at the wrens having their daily bath.
