A walk in this area today was quite
rewarding.
On Oakey Hill itself lots of Weebills, incl. one
taking food (a moth I think) to a nest in a small Eucalypt, at least 6 Double
barred Finches, Grey Fantails (one seen, lots calling), Superb Wrens,
Yellow rumped Thornbills, Silvereyes, Yellow-faced Honeyeaters, Striated
Pardalotes calling.
In the area between St Judes School and the old
Holder High were a pair of Red Rumps, 3 European Goldfinches, a pair of Black
faced Cuckoo-Shrikes, more Striated Pardalotes and Yellow-faced Honeyeaters,
Willie Wagtail, and a Magpie carrying nesting material.
On Blackwood Terrace just past the shops was a
Crested Pigeon sitting on a nest in a Photinia shrub.
