This morning Rod Mackay kindly guided Noela and me on a delightful
canoe/kayak trip at the east end of Lake BG. We observed 49 species over
four hours, incl two classified as unusual birds in COG's area of
concern, namely Pied Cormorant (4 or 6) and Spangled Drongo (1).
This is just the sixth record of the Drongo in the ACT, the others being Aranda 1980, Mt Majura 1989, Kambah 1990, ANBG 2000 and Downer 2002. Location of the Drongo:
It seems, then, for birders who keep lists, a morning's visit to Mulligan's Flat and second morning at Jerrabomberra Creek could well produce 100 species. A pretty good weekend's birding. David |
