Birds rarely breed in Tyto, almost certainly because vegetation on and around lagoons doesn't include tasty stuff such as blue taro, which is also great cover.Tyto Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834120720077625697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-69151002958453395532009-03-23T10:33:00.000+10:002009-03-23T10:33:00.000+10:00Hi Tony,Pity about the Jacana eggs but I suppose t...Hi Tony,<BR/>Pity about the Jacana eggs but I suppose that's the reality of life on the lagoon.

I'm very fond of Magpie Geese, I especially love the soft calls they make when they fly on moonlit nights and their awkward perching in the tops of trees is a delight to observe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-33010013653844560282009-03-22T23:04:00.000+10:002009-03-22T23:04:00.000+10:00Hi Mick and Denis: The closer you get the more att...Hi Mick and Denis: The closer you get the more attractive they become.
