I had thoroughly enjoyable day yesterday driving the back roads just to
the north of Canberra. Considering it is winter and there isn't much
happening in Canberra at the moment birdwise there was quite a bit to see
across the border.

Brown Quail (1+) - Wet Lagoon NR.
Musk Duck (3)
Australasian Shoveler (8)
Australian Shelduck (4)
Yellow-billed Spoonbill (1) - first record for Canberra region for 2006?
Unusual in winter?

Black-fronted Dotterel (4)
Brown Treecreeper (3)
Yellow-rumped Thornbill (93+)
Southern Whiteface (3)
White-fronted Chat (16) - single flock along Wollogorang Rd
Jacky Winter (2)
Hooded Robin (1)
Scarlet Robin (3)

Eastern Shrike-tit (5) - family? group of 5 birds inc. 2 males, 2 females
and 1 begging (female) juvenile.

Almost no honeyeater activity apart from White-plumeds and Wattlebirds.
Some E. cinerea in flower.
