Greetings: On the COG field trip in the Molonglo
Valley today, a pair of White-fronted Chats was recorded at the corner of
Uriarra and Coppings Crossing Roads. This is near
the construction area gate for the new Deeks park, below Mt
Stromlo. The birds were sitting on fences on both sides of Uriarra
road, and feeding on the ground in the sparsely grassed paddock on the NE of
that corner.
You can park in the layby area on the southern side
of Uriarra Road, but do take care when crossing the road - there was
lots of traffic today. If you stand on the southern side of Uriarra
Road at the corner, looking north with new Deeks park and Mt Stromlo behind
you, its the paddock opposite on the right side of the corner where the birds
were feeding in the grass.
cheers
Jenny
