I saw a mixed flock of red browed and D-B
finches last Wednesday on the bike ramp that leads up to Ginninderra Drive near
the new aged care facility but the other side of Ginninderra Drive. That
is often a good spot for small birds.
Another interesting sight in that area has
been up to 10 white faced herons perched together on the fence over water that
divides Lake Ginninderra from the naval radio facility. Usually there are only
solitary WF herons about.

I saw a D-b finch a couple of weeks ago on
the bike path where the construction site for the aged care facility is on the
Eastern side of Lake Ginninderra. First I had seen or heard there.

where were they?
They have been on Lake Ginninderra penninsula (ie Diddams Close Park) for at least the last
couple of years. From the spot where the cormorants preen (ie SW Diddams park),
just up the hill there are a bunch of small shrubs where they often were.
But I only have seen a maximum of 6, so
they may have bred.

Saw a small flock of around
10-12 of D-b Finches on Lake Ginninderra yesterday. Not something I normally see around
the lake. Maybe they've had a particularly good breeding year?

I just saw a Double-barred Finch at my work near the rear entrance. This
is the first finch in the 6 years I have been keeping an eye on the birdlife in
Parkes.
The
closest suitable habitat would probably be at Stirling Park.
