16 km E of West Wyalong on Newell Hwy take unnamed road to south (on your
left if heading to WW from Forbes). Drive down road 400 metres and see a
small dam on your right.

Yesterday (6.10.02) this area was alive with honeyeaters in the flowering
mistletoe including 10 Painted, 10 Black and two male and one female Pied
Honeyeaters. The Pieds were not display flighting or singing and were
typically quite elusive. Also present were White-fronted, Brown-headed and
Singing Honeyeaters.

Very lively enjoyable birding site.

At Gum Swamp (5 km W Forbes) on the same day were 5 Freckled Duck. Near
Goolagong (between Cowra and Forbes) were several Superb Parrots.

Cheers

Dion
