Popped in to Duntroon on Tuesday to see if the
babbler was still there, it was in the pines along Hopkins Rd, as noted by
Anthony a couple of weeks ago. It was being harrassed by Noisy Miners for much
of the time I was watching. 2 small Dusky Wood Swallow fledglings being fed by
adults in the same area.
Then went on to Campbell Park. Highlight was 7+
Rainbow BeeEaters doing what they are supposed to (eating bees) around a large
flowering Apple Box. Also saw 1 juv Pallid Cuckoo, 1 juv Horsfields
B-Cuckoo, both gerygones (not very vocal), 1 Hobby, many wattlebirds, friarbirds
and Noisy Miners in flowering mistletoes and at least 4 Sacred Kingfishers.
Couldn't find any sign of Dollarbirds or Leaden Flycatchers, may have moved on
already, haven't seen Dollarbirds at home for a couple of
weeks
cheers
Steve
