I'm very pleased to report that the rufous songlark
is back again this spring at the very NW end of Cooleman Ridge (and quite a bit
earlier than last year). Heard a bird about 50 W of the dam at the end of
Kathner St Chapman on Saturday morning, and confirmed it this morning, with
a bird calling and flying very actively in this area.
Also present are at least 2 pairs of dusky
woodswallow. They've been round for at least a few days (again earlier
than last year) with one pair already having built a nest in a typical spot in
amongst bark on the side of stump that's covered with suckers regenerating after
the Jan 2003 fire.
