Hi All,
On Tuesday, the first record for 5 months!
Striated Pardalotes are residents here - recorded (heard or seen) every day
on our property since Feb 2002 until 8 Mar 07 when they left, or perhaps
just stopped calling. They have also been virtually absent from the local
bush as well - no pardalotes were recorded at Murray Goulburn Outings at
Killawarra (Warby Range near Wangaratta) on 11/8; at Chiltern on 5/8 and at
Youanmite (NE of Benalla) on 8/7.
It has actually been a special week here, with first records for some time
of the following:
-residents
Striated Pardalote 5 months
Spotted Pardalote 5 weeks
Weebill, 7 weeks
Red Wattlebird, 2 weeks, recorded on 2 days in last 5
months
-non residents
Brown-headed Honeyeater 4 months
Purple-crowned Lorikeets 9 months
It has really been a very quiet year, very few birds around at all and about
half the 'usual' number of species recorded each week.
Hopefully more are on the way.
Barry
