Birds observed nesting at Grasby Memorial Park in 2019

In 2019 sixteen species of bird, listed below, were observed nesting at Grasby Memorial Park, a remarkably high number for such a small area. There were other species that appeared with young and may well have also nested there unobserved. In spring Fan-tailed Cuckoos were frequently seen and heard and were presumably parasitising other species nests however no cuckoo fledglings were observed.
