Re: end of world as we know it

   Mulgoa Valley is sodden Alistair, most of the pre-drought suite of
sightings are back, visible during sunny patches but not quite up to the
routine fifty plus on any outing any day. GOLDEN-HEADED CISTICOLAS back
after six years, now we have grass, two long-tailed dark-eyed VARIEGATED
FAIRY-WREN females with their characteristic call popped up in response to
"air-kissing", DUSKY WOOD-SWALLOWS on high dead branches, with DOLLARBIRDS,
and RAINBOW BEE-EATERS also on the wires, OLIVE-BACKED ORIOLES,
WHITE-THROATED TREECREEPER, VARIED SITELLAS, notable this morning, among
many others. A couple of TREE MARTINS but no Fairy Martins as yet, they turn
up and nest under our verandah in wet years, but this has been too wet, the
mud is all under water.
     Also a high-pitched "see-see" from ground-level on the steep slope
north of Mayfair Rd which has heavy regrowth , possibly SPOTTED
QUAIL-THRUSH.

Cheers

Michael
