Winter visiting Redwings and Fieldfares have arrived in numbers in the last few days following the October full moon. In our street, they are to be seen flying between the larger mature trees calling excitedly. As well as these visitors we have a new resident bird, namely the Magpie. Until a few years ago there were no Magpies in Perth, or the surrounding area. Probably due to less persecution, we now we have Magpies nesting in our street with their harsh calls giving their presence away. |
