Some exciting news from Lynda Radbone’s garden in the central sector of Paluma Village. A few weeks ago a pair of Shrike Thrush birds started nesting in Lynda’s fig tree. After some frenetic nest building, some eggs appeared in the nest to be closely cosseted by Mum and Dad Shrike Thrush. Earlier this week, the eggs hatched and there are three splendid and very hungry chicks in the nest. Lynda continues to monitor the nest to guard the chicks from hungry Catbirds, with the help of Miss Molly the dog. Lynda has kindly shared these photos of the progress of this little feathered family.
Great shots, Linda. Looking forward to seeing more pictures as the babies grow!

Great news. We have the Olive Back Sunbirds with chicks, outside our back door down town. Very hard to get a good pic.
These are great Linda (Aunty š)
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece
Wonderful,a joy to watch Iām sure. Iām glad the dog is helping out
My Molly dog is amazing with all creatures great and small. Blessed with such a nurse . Do stress though when she gives a nose hug to the Red Bellie black snakes š Me holding my breath.š
