This juvenile Brown Goshawk was seen at Mon Repos, being menaced by angry birds. They are a medium sized raptor (37-55cm, averaging 454g), and, although they are said to be widespread throughout Australia, their skulking method of hunting, often sitting still within the foliage, quietly watching, they are easily overlooked. They are opportunistic feeders taking small birds, reptiles, insects, quail, mice, young rabbits, and sometimes carrion, however, their smaller size usually limits prey to

The Rufous Whistler (Pachycephala rufiventris), is, as the name implies, known for its musical song that can be heard throughout most of Australia, in woodlands. and shrublands, which have a shrubby understorey. So it is that these musical little birds, (16-18cms, weight 18-32g), frequent the bushland behind Mon Repos Beach, and can be glimpsed as they forage, in the treetops, for insects, seeds, fruit, or leaves. They form monogamous pairs. A flimsy, cup-shaped nest is constructed, by the female, within the fork of a tree, from twigs, grass, and vines wrapped with spider web. Incubation of eggs, (usually 2-3 in a clutch), and feeding of resultant chicks, is shared by both parent birds. Two clutches may be produced in a season.

This is one very cold cuckoo trying to soak up the early morning sun at Mon Repos. It is a Fan-tailed Cuckoo, known to parasitise many different hosts, preferring those that construct domed nests, (e.g. fairy-wrens, thornbills, and gerygones). They produce a frequently heard, distinctive, musical call, which can help to locate their position. Often discovered, sitting unobtusively, whilst on the lookout for a juicy, hairy caterpillar, or insect.
