I spent Sunday morning dodging the showers, but
like other reports, found a surprising number of birds around, especially
early on when there was no wind.
Highlights of 71 species (mostly the eastern side
of Mulligans and northern Gooroo) were Superb Parrot and Red-capped Robin, with
breeding records of Hooded Robin and Varied Sittella. Plus an
interesting sighting of 4 Shining Bronze-Cuckoos involved
in frenetic courting and copulation - all four together!
Alas, no Brown Treecreeper at Southern Gooroo - the
lone bird has not been seen there for some time.
cheers
