What's on the morning menu?


Snail for White-browed Crake (Amaurornis cinerea).

Stillborn katydid(?) for Macleay's Honeyeater (Xanthotis macleayanus)

Red Tie Bush (Wikstroemia indica) fruit  for Brown Cuckoo-Dove (Macropygia amboinensis)

And a feast in bulk, insects for the Cattle Egrets and the cane for us.
