Hi birders,

 

Ruth and I went to the eucalyptus plantations, immediately to the west of
The You Yangs, west of Melbourne, today to look for the White-backed Swallow
that's been reported there recently. Unfortunately we didn't see the WBS,
but we did see both a small group of White-browed Babblers and a single
Red-backed Kingfisher. As far as I can tell from Birds Australia's Birdata
site, and the printed version of the atlas, these would be the first records
of both species at this location, and the only records this far south for
both species. Does anyone else have any other records of sightings of these
species either at The You Yangs, or this far south?
