Chiltern birds - very quiet

["russ lamb" <>]

And the birding is similairly quiet in the woodlands around Bendigo at the 
moment. Local Bob Cook and myself birded the(northern) Whipstick and 
Kamarooka Sections of the Greater Bendigo NP on Sunday, and 
the(southern)One-Tree Hill and Mandurang Sections on Monday. Very dry and 
hot, little about, but we did manage five honeyeaters 
(Fuscous,Yellow-faced,Yellow-tufted,White-eared,White-plumed), Varied 
Sitella, Crested Bellbird, Red-capped & Scarlet Robin, and thornbills(Brown, 
Weebill, Buff-rumped,Striated).
  Monday finished with a "feral tick" of Tree Sparrow in the Bendigo CBD, a 
bird which has previously eluded me in Vic (God knows how!!)
