East O'Malley Woodland

I made a brief visit to East O'Malley
Woodland in my lunch break today. I found at least 4 Speckled Warblers
spread out across 3 separate plots on the lower slope of O'Malley Ridge.
One bird was in a MFF with a Brown-headed Honeyeater, Yellow-rumped Thornbills
and Superb Fairy-wrens. It was good to see this species still present despite
the noisy development now occurring in places.

It seems Noisy Miners have taken over
the valley floor and estate in large numbers, to the exclusion of other
birds except Eastern Rosella, Crested Pigeon, Magpie-lark and Magpies.
The new wetland (chain of ponds) only had the usual Wood Ducks.

Cheers
Marnix
