This young Butcher Bird and another, I assume to be its mother, sat calling and calling to another bird, fifty metres or more away.
The younger bird shown in the top photograph, is lighter in colour than the adult. It sat on a branch adjacent to the adult, watching and listening carefully, very attentive to what was being said and done.
It is interesting to note that my last photographs of the singing Butcher birds were taken a year ago within a few days, and in the same spot as last year, along the train line at Kilmore East.
It could be the same bird with her young from 2018. Was she calling to the same mate?
