On Australia day I
borrowed my sisters 4WD and went to the Brindies down Blundells creek road. Half
way down I also ran into a lot of birds, almost literally, dozens of flame
robins, often coming to within 1m as did the grey fantails. 2 satin flycatchers
feeding dependent young. Another pair of Satin flycatchers in territorial
calling combat with the first. Golden
whistlers including dependent young, rufous whistlers, lots of white eared
honeyeaters, yellow faced, white naped,
Drove to Warks Rd and heading
towards Bendora for 500m where there are quite a few tree ferns, and saw satin
bowerbird, fantailed cuckoo, another pair of satin flycatchers, rufous fantail,
yellow robins, lots of flame robins, white
eareds, white napes, YF, scrubwrens, king parrots, crimson rosellas, and a bird
that may be olive whistler juvenile/immature. I checked 6 books at home but
still undecided and will have to go to library to check HANZAB. Also heard
lyrebird further along and saw another pair of satin flycatchers and rufous
fantail. It would have been good to see this area before the fires
because it would have looked
spectacular. Now it is quite open but still nice. Didn't see any Lewins
honeyeaters.
