Hospital Creek Hut survey

Those that attended the Hospital Creek
outing late last year may be interested to know that I returned to this
site exactly three months after our visit, on Saturday 3 March, 2007.

I did an area survey within 500m of
the hut, in the early morning, and recorded a total of 32 species.  The
most abundant species was the Fuscous Honeyeater and there were
also good numbers of White-naped Honeyeater and quite a few White-eared
Honeyeater and Yellow-faced Honeyeater.  There were also
quite a lot of Scarlet Robin, including many immature.  I also
saw both White-throated Treecreeper and Red-browed Treecreeper,
a single Fan-tailed Cuckoo and Olive-backed Oriole.  Overhead
were a small flock of White-throated Needletail.

If anyone knows the COG grid cell that
this site belongs to could they please email me offline.  Thank you.

In other sightings within Canberra,
I saw a flock of 10 Rainbow Bee-eater over Lake Tuggeranong, and
in the trees between the college and the skate park, on Sunday 4 March,
 and 2 Brown Quail yesterday in the grassland between Kambah
and Fisher, next to the bike path that runs parallel to the Tuggeranong
Parkway.
