Hi All,
I just went to the Namadgi visitors centre to escape the non-excitement of being at home. I
recall having written a similar message a year ago. Even in the hottest part of
a fairly warm day, with strong winds, the woodland area next to the building was
just full of all sorts of ordinary woodland birds. No Storm-Petrels or
Hummingbirds etc but nice birds all over. Well worth a stroll, if you're in
southern ACT. For what it's worth, this included at least a pair of white-winged
trillers. I also saw a male white-winged triller at Tuggeranong shops next to
the big hole in the ground by the skatepark on 25-12-04 and by Monaro Highway in
Hume a week earlier. By this and other observations, It looks like this species
is having a very good year, after many years of decline. I wonder if it will
revert to its 1981-82 abundance levels.
