No less than four juv Dollarbirds perched in and around Kellys swamp today
(Thurs lunchtime). Have seen one or two in recent days. Devoid of much
colouration until hawking where the brilliant white wing patches are
evident.

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
