See 6:55. This is surely the first footage of its type ever produced. It is surely unique at this time.

We've fumbled in the past with lists of predators and guesses about the when and how of predation.

The only metric we've had at all is: 'Day One: X newly-hatched chicks; A month later, X remaining chicks.' We've never witnessed a predation.

Toosh Toosh lost four chicks of ten in a week. Limpy Chick lost three of ten in a week.

But the clip of the goanna attacking this male's clutch gives us a lot to think about.

All seven chicks here this morning. Their toosh plumage is looking better every day. 'Babyhead' still has a tiny splotch of baby-plumage feathers on the top of his head.

The chicks are getting their first experience of fruit dropped by the flying birds: plums and pears
