In Dec Susan Robertson sent details to this
list a few pages of notes titled "Bird Watching at Gypsy Point
and Mallacoota". I had the opportunity to visit the area last week and was
suitably astounded by the accuracy of Susan's notes in relation to the Double Ck
Nature Walk.
I saw, at the car park, Azure Kingfisher (1),
Scarlet Honeyeater (2 or 3), Beautiful Firetail (1), Koalas (2) and on the walk
Rufous Fantails, Black Faced Monarchs, and very quiet Lyre Birds (2) at close
quarters ie 3m. and lots of other birds that were fairly
routine.
By the way, for those that know the waterways of
Mallacoota lakes, there was a large seal (estimated by me at 2m long) a
few kms downstream of Gypsy point. It would be about 10 from the
ocean. An impressive sight in amoungst the water skiers.
