Flowering Mistletoe at Mulligans

There is plenty of flowering mistletoe
at Mulligans Flat. I rode my bike around the reserve yesterday morning
visiting all the mistletoe I could find.
Despite the relentless search I could
only muster 2 Eastern Spinebills feeding in the mistletoe. Found quite
a bit of flowering Brittle Gum covered in pollinating insects.
The highlight was however finding a
Rufous Fantail in the far east of the reserve skulking in a patch of dense
wattle. Other birds seen included Speckled Warbler, Rufous Whistler, Yellow
Thornbill, Grey Butcherbird, Brown-headed Honeyeater, Scarlet Robin and
a (silent) Western Gerygone. Also 4 Black-fronted Dotterels at the large
dam, of which 1 was a juvenile.

Cheers
Marnix
