Mulligans Flat/Hall - 18 November

["Frank Antram" <>]

I did a similar 'circuit' to Marnix, but on foot - six hours.  Highlights
were the breeding colony of White-browed Woodswallows and 3 Hooded Robins -
male, female and an immature male together, but my best efforts for a family
photo failed :(  

Regards
Frank
