SUNBIRD MYSTERY

While Little Darwin  was  lost in cyberspace,  our resident  Sunbirds , one above,  disappeared ,  possibly the victim of predators .  Their nest now hangs  neglected .Two settings of  Curlew  eggs  failed to  result in  any  surviving  hatchlings , a  cat    frequently  spotted   at   Nellie  Bay    , running down   drains  when  challenged . After the burn off  on Magnetic Island , which was  spectacular at night , especially on the ridges , pix later , a Wallaby  was  found  on the back lawn , probably after    plants   to  nibble and a drink  from  the Curlew  pond .
