Uriarra Village woodland, Bibaringa [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

["Whitworth, Benjamin - BRS" <>]

I decided to enter Uriarra village woodland, rather than look from the road, and found:

3 leaden flycatchers, 1 restless flycatcher,1 rufous songlark, 10 white winged trillers fighting over territories, dollarbird, jacky winter, 2 dusky woodswallows, 5 fairy martins, 1 diamond firetail, 4 or so noisy friarbirds, rufous whistlers, 1 grey currawong, kookaburra, straw necked ibis, a dotterel. and numerous other species.

I found a white throated gerygone nest- about 10m up in a gum tree, with chicks being fed (nest was directly S of a bath trough in the largest gun tree), and literally stumbled across a western gerygone nest, also about 80cm from the ground, with 3 eggs. 4 adults of each species were seen.

 

I also dropped by Bibaringa- 2 dusky woodswallows with a nest 2m in from the front fence, about 160cm from the ground with 2 chicks maybe 5-7 days old. 5 fairy martins, 7 rufous songlarks (and 3 females looking very suss-probably on nests), brown goshawk. One flock of 16 choughs! 2 rufous whistlers. Diamond firetails and peaceful doves were heard but not seen. No brown treecreepers.
