The flame robins have returned to the edge of the
burnt out Narrabundah Hill and adjacent horse paddocks where they were so
abundant last winter (up to mid August), with 2 female/immature birds seen
there this morning.
Even more exciting were the at least 6 diamond
firetails (2 of them immature) accompanying them. This is not far off the
total number of this species I have seen in over 27 years worth of observing in
the Chapman area. Judging from reports to this chat line this
summer/autumn has been pretty good for this declining species in the local area,
which is very pleasing.
