Short walk invite Wednesday

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

A very small party took this up this morning, completing it in a bit over an 
hour in brilliant sunshine.  The main concentration, perhaps 100+ birds, had 
gathered sensibly on a well-vegetated hillside near the apogee of our route, 
where they could conduct their early morning business in the full warmth of 
the morning sun.  Most in evidence were Spotted Pardalotes, Weebills, Grey 
Fantails and Yellow-rumped and Buff-rumped Thornbills, the whole salted with 
Silvereyes and Speckled Warblers, garnished with White-throated 
Treecreepers, coated with a generous frosting of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters 
drizzled with Golden Whistler, and smeared here and there with Double-bars.
The full readership of this chatline is something of a mystery, but in the 
belief that it is very unlikely to include any actual birds I shall run the 
risk of offending the dozen or so other sighted species omitted from this 
bulletin.
