My fathers lived all his life in this town and he never grew up with these birds flying around, they’ve only just recently started appearing again, maybe in the last ten years or so and so have a lot of other native birds. It’s nice to see the conservation efforts around here working out, I probably would of had to go to the nature reserve to see this bird a few years ago, nice to see them encroaching on my neck of the woods.
