Taking advantage of school holidays i headed west to Forbes
today. i began at Back Yamma State Forest where the birds
included:-
Common Bronzewing
Peaceful Dove
Turquoise Parrot (finally)
White Throated Treecreeper
Buff Rumped Thornbill
Yellow Thornbill
Speckled Warbler
Spiny Cheeked Honeyeater
White Eared Honeyeater
White Browed Babbler
Southern Whiteface
Grey Shrike Thrush
I still missed the Gilbert's Whistler, do they exist
here?
My mystery bird was a thornbill with a very red
rump. Would this likely be a Chestnut Rumped Thornbill or just a brightly
rumped Inland Thornbill?
Also had a quick look at Gum Swamp where I had excellent close
up views of the Whistling Kites and Blue Billed Ducks. There were also several
Pink Eared Ducks and many black ducks and teal. In the woodlands were a group of
Grey Crowned Babblers.
