At the Pinnacle yesterday, although very windy, there was lots of
action: saw a pair of speckled warblers in the stringybark forest, near
Marrakai St entrance. I was trying to follow them, when my eyes caught a
red flash, which turned out to be a brilliant male red-capped robin only
50m from houses. The speckled warblers were carrying food, and I had the
terrible dilemma of choosing between RCR and speckled warblers
'breeding'. I followed the latter, the male and female carried food 3
times, but I didn't find the nest.
,
Also saw 2 dependent young buff rump thornbills being fed, galahs
mating, 4 ww choughs, a single striated thornbill, white throated
gerygone, 2 little corellas, at least 4 rainbow lorikeets, 20 dusky
woodswallows roosting, little eagle, 2 unidentified falcons gliding
after sunset. Only 1 sitella, that was calling stridently (seemed to
have lost his friends). 4 YF honeyeaters (previous Monday also saw 1 YFH
feed another in courtship. & 1 fuscous). Unfortunately no leaden
flycatchers.
Indigofera in full flower (both species) and Daphne heath, urn heath
starting.
