I visited Fairy Dell in on consecutive days in mid-November and saw 20-30
Topknot Pigeons on the first day, none on the second.  They were flying
from tree to tree and occasionally congregating in one tree.

I also saw Rose Robin, Brown Gerygone, Bassian Thrush, Wonga Pigeon, and a
Lyrebird.

It was my first visit and it is indeed a lovely spot with interesting birds
.

Diana (Bryant) and I visited Fairy Dell in East Gippsland on Sunday morning
(our first visit) - a lovely spot with interesting birds to be found.

In keeping with the recent spate of sightings of Topknot Pigeons in eastern
Victoria we counted 20 Topknots in a tall tree above the walking track on
the way back from the Dell.

Other species of interest included Rose Robin, Brown Gerygone, Bassian
Thrush, Wonga Pigeon (with several more calling) & probable Red-browed
Treecreeper.
