Steel trees

February 2, 2023

Previous ADAPs have offered A bird’s eye view of an ASKAP antenna as well as illustrating the use made by local birdlife of an idle ASKAP antenna . Today’s ADAP demonstrates that other bird species are equally adept at identifying steel trees to house their nests, with the base level of the Mopra antenna having become a somewhat crowded house for these willie wagtail chicks!
