It started in a pink gum and then moved to this grevillea - two LW, one seemingly in playful pursuit of the other, spent a good ten minutes in the shrub, barrelling through the branches in spaces barely large enough to stretch a wing. Not quite sure what was going on - two babies playing chasey? or two adults playing, erm, the grown-up version... It's a couple of months shy of the breeding season, but LW are known to breed all year round if food is plentiful. One bird occasionally made the soft, two-syllable 'coo', second syllable descending, which I associate with the adult female, who seems to make this noise to the male when he gets wound up. Meanwhile this LW did some people-watching from the buddlejah. Am quite confident this is a baby - a few more pics if you click.
