Tuesday after work I went to
Lake
Ginninderra. Didnt see the
Californian quail, but saw a juvenile Horschfields cuckoo. I think it has been
mentioned before on the list. It was very grey and I thought maybe a black eared
cuckoo, but when it landed on the beach I got good views of the chestnut edged
tail and when on a branch the faintly barred flanks. Lots of ducky woodswallow
immatures feeding on the ground.
At Kellys swamp Wednesday arvo I
saw a spotless crake in the channel. Also am 80% sure I saw a Baillons crake at
the Bittern hide reeds crake area. It could have been an Australian spotted, it
was on dusk.
Also saw double bars, goldfinch,
and 1000 starlings sitting on powerlines, shoulder to shoulder before heading
into the bittern reeds to sleep. 2 Australian shelducks, about 12 pairs of
shovelers and a couple of pink ears. 27
pelicans.
Also a little eagle flew over me.
Also saw a possible whistling kite but didn't get a good view. Benj
