Mulligans Flat: Drought, Mistletoe, Robins

We've had close to 150mm of rain in
Kambah since New Years Eve and Urambi Hills Nature Reserve is strikingly
green at the moment, with a lot of the kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra)
very lush and in seed.  Just shows the disparity in rainfall with
the localised storms in the past 8 weeks; a lot of them dropping rain on
the southside but missing the airport region and the northside of Canberra.

Subject	[canberrabirds] Mulligans Flat: Drought, Mistletoe, Robins
Reference
	Expires

I rode around Mulligans this morning. It is looking very
dry now with barely any grass left.
All the migrants seem to have left already. I did find
a trio of Hooded Robins, a male Red-capped Robin and a young Jacky Winter
though.
 
Most of the mistletoe I found was in flower but there
were no honeyeaters, just Noisy Miners.
 
Cheers
Marnix
