Roosting, Lake Monger (“6”, final in series: penthouse suites)

 

 

 

This little series concludes a few minutes after sundown, looking at some “premium real estate” on the western side of inner-urban Perth’s Lake Monger.

I think the new overnight-roosters have supplanted the immediately-preceding “tenants”: respectively, ibis and corellas.

For some bird species – rainbow lorikeets, for instance – coming into roost involves a great deal of disputation, sorting out of “pecking order”, and a lot of discordant noise.

Australian white ibis like to shuffle around for a bit, but their “settling in for the night” looks quite peaceful; it is certainly not noisy.
