An intrusive Red Wattlebird was not in the least deterred by the calling and posturing of LW so there was an altercation followed by a chase. The difference this time was that the female LW joined in the pursuit. I haven't seen that before. The pair were successful in driving other bird away and spent quite a lot of time together for the rest of the day. The LW territory covers about a quarter of an acre with the centre being the trees in front of verandah. There is a concentration of nectar-producing plants with something flowering for most of the year as well as a bird bath either end so it really is prime real estate (apart from the proximity of humans!)
