HI Michael,
I only saw 2 ggs. As I arrived there was one female feeding in this bush. She then flew to the fence outside COTA then the young male came in to feed. I didn't see where he came from When they left I saw , I assume the same 2, fly west along Wisdom St

Hi Michael and Jenny - I've seen both a mature male and female feeding on that bush, a couple of weeks ago - seems like it's been a longish-term feed source?
