Seem to be becoming semi-resident in the area, seen them here a few times in increasing numbers over the last few years

yes they are coming in closer and closer saw one fly across the road close to the Chisholm Shops the other day. As we were seeing them today one flew over a woman's head, she was walking towards us and she ducked and screamed, probably thinking it was a Magpie but I just let her know that they don't do any harm. Magpies aren't any problem if you make friends with them either though.
