Tharwa Sandwash. Friday 7th. Saw nesting bee-eaters, rufous songlarks, 3 black fronted dotterels (1 juvenile), 2 whitefaces, male rufous whistler on a nest, redbrows with fledged juveniles. Interestingly 2 diamond firetails were there (didn't see them last time), and finally saw a male hooded robin. 1 Dollarbird swooped what I am pretty sure from the jizz, was a black falcon, but hard to see at distance. The black falcon later flew to the East side of the river and fed 2 begging fledglings. 5 Goldfinches including 3 juveniles.

Very large MFF- Many trillers, with 2 fledglings being fed by parents (very striped), rufous whistler fledglings being fed by parents. Western and white throated gerygones, fuscous honeyeaters, 4 sittellas, satin flycatcher male, horshfield's bronze cuckoo. 1 Whiteface. Rufous songlark.
