Namadgi NP - Sat 17 Sept

On Saturday despite some inclement weather
I headed south to Rendezvous Creek and Yankee Hat. Along Rendezvous Creek
I was hoping to spot an Olive Whistler but unfortunately dipped.
However in the flowering Grevillea lanigera(?)
and Hakea bushes (not flowering) were many Eastern Spinebills and
New Holland Honeyeaters. Along the creek I added Yellow-faced
Honeyeater, White-naped Honeyeater and White-eared Honeyeater
too. Since August when Pied Currawongs where loud and obvious around my
work hundreds were now moving through the valley on their return to the
ranges. A Wedge-tailed Eagle was perched on the hill above the creek
and several Flame Robins were in the grassland.

At Yankee Hat I recorded 3 Diamond
Firetails, 2 separate families of Brown Treecreepers, a Southern
Whiteface, Fuscous Honeyeaters and Brown-headed Honeyeaters,
Little Ravens and over 50 Dusky Woodswallows. The last species
was present in large numbers in the Naas Valley (with Tree Martins)
and at Glendale too. A Superb Lyrebird was still calling at Gudgenby.

Cheers
Marnix
