A male Superb Parrot calling loudly flying north
near the Malaysian High Commission towards the Yacht Club via Stirling Ridge at
16:40 Sunday. Maybe it's the same one that I saw calling in the Botanic Gardens
some weeks ago. Would be interesting to know of more of its
movements.
Field Naturalists explored Stirling ridge this
afternoon for the first time. We parked at the corner of Empire Circuit &
Hunter St., Yarralumla.
There's plenty of paths & tracks & a range
of quality native vegetation (and an instructive suite of woody weeds). A
dog walker showed us clusters of boulders that were near an Aboriginal
ceremonial area apparently.
At least 5 Striated pardalotes calling in different
places, presumably each in its territory? Speckled Warblers, Golden Whistlers,
pair Grey Currawongs, pair Gang Gangs and a Boobook Owl.
