Annual bird report and records- Coppins x [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

["Whitworth, Benjamin - BRS" <>]

There are two reasons why I have woken-up to the value of submitting forms for COG.

1 is the honeyeater movements.

The other is when ‘making a case’ for conserving a site. As a part of Molonglo development, they intend to create a big dam downstream of Coppins crossing. This is a good bird spot and it would be useful to have a list of birds. Another example is when Bushfire hazard reduction intends to burn a site. Having a list of species, by time is useful for these.

I visited Coppins Crossing, SW, on Saturday, but in the afternoon.

Birds of interest included a diamond firetail, a pair of wedgetails, 3 fuscous honeyeaters flew East then changed their mind and flew West again. 2 White ears flew East quickly and direct. Lots of choughs, (3 flocks: 1 with 16, one 7 and one group heard), A wedgie circled the tree with 7 choughs, it seemed to be trying to flush them.  2 separate speckled warblers. 1 scarlet robin female. Redbrows, 1 flock of >10 (incl 2 immatures), one of 3 birds. 2 Double bars on nest (feeding nestlings). Grey currawong. Black shouldered kite and white faced heron.
