Ospreys rise above Parks and Wildlife burnout

Look who's back on top of life after having nest and host tree burned down by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service: Osprey pair rebuilding lives and nest in nearby tree in Townsville Town Common Conservation Park. She's toey, but staying close to new nest. He was eating fish on tree across road this morning. Last year's sole youngster may have departed. 

Meanwhile, new life down the road. Bush Stone-curlews with two eggs plonked in plain view close to entry gate. In turn, I've plonked bit of cover around them. Didn't expect thanks and, naturally, got none. 

Eggssssassssperated, that's the word for it

Whaddya mean, I'm all bluff. Lissssten, buddy, I've sssseen off bigger galootssss than you. Lotssss of times. You better clear off while you've sssstill got all your armssss and legssss.

And get away from those eggssss or you're a dead man. You're going? Lucky for you then. And don't come back.  (I-I-I-I won't. Promise (fingers crossed behind back; promise void! MTC))
