Westbourne Woods: Brown Gerygones

At least 2 of the above at Westbourne
Woods today. They were calling constantly to each other and were in vegetation
which, structurally at least, seemed the same as what they are usually
found in at this time of year (i.e. cooler months). This species can move
to lower altitudes in autumn-winter and may leave rainforest at that time.
I believe the month of May is also in line with past sightings of this
species in the ACT.

While I was there many walkers, runners
and riders passed me on the bike path. The birds seemed to be loosely hanging
around with fantails, sp pardalotes, silvereyes, redbrows, br thornbills
and scrubwrens. They were about 100 metres along the path from the footbridge
over Warrina Inlet, and then about 10 metres in (north from path).

Also seen a Whistling Kite over the
inlet and a green Satin Bowerbird.

Cheers
Marnix
