Hi
Barbara,
will post my sheets
tomorrow together with a map of Mt Ainslie showing the route I have taken
(divided into 3 sections). The most exiting thing was that the rain on Sunday
did trigger movement by tall forest birds, such as Golden Whistler, Satin
Flycatcher and Rufous Fantail, some times all 3 species together in loose
groups. Also a possible Cicada Bird. But it called only once briefly, so that I
decided not to include it (in the past, at the same area, the species was more
vocal).
Overall large tracts
fairly devoid of small bird life.
Also went on
Saturday afternoon to the Glossie roost at Mt Majura. The behaviour of Glossies
post drought is very different to what we got used to during the drought. They
are quite shy and wary at their current drinking/roosting spot, as a result
I/we (some times with Janette) watch only from a great
distance.
Regards,
Michael
