At about 10:30 this morning 2 (maybe 3) Brown Gerygones still present. Seen in deciduous vegetation very close to the western end of the bridge (on the lake side of the bike path). They were in company of about two dozen silvereyes, a Golden Whistler, some brown TBs...

 

Also present in the vicinity:

Bowerbirds (3 green, 1 black)

Yellow-faced HE

10+ Striated TBs

Weebills...
