On Tuesday, close to dusk, I popped into Hall TSR and saw 2 brown
treecreepers on the Western edge (are they the Bibaringa birds?). They seem
pretty nervous. Pallid cuckoo, 2 dusky woodswallows. White plumes feeding
dependent young.
Field Naturalists are having a walk in the Hall Horse paddocks on
Sunday, COG birdos are invited:
Field trip- Hall horse paddocks- Sunday 4th November
2pm
A small, but great site and one of only a few sites in the ACT that is
flowering well this year. I checked it out, and although it’s prime flowering
was a month ago with leopard orchids (Diuris pardina) and yam
daisies already finished, there hopefully will still be many flowers. Cute,
white flowering Daphne heaths, yellow flowering urn heaths, billy button
daisies, and scaly buttons, heaps of amazing trigger plants, and still some
purple Indigofera, Hoveas, Glycine and Hardenbergias. Flowers were as far as the
eye could see and hopefully the site will still be like that. Birds I saw
included: sacred kingfishers; dollar birds; collared sparrowhawk; noisy
friarbird, and even a white-throated treecreeper on a nest. The only major
problem is that you have to scramble over a high gate, so access isnt easy. Meet
on Victoria
St (the main street in Hall) on the Western limit of
the houses. There is an orange brick fireplace. The site is only small but the
walk should be about 2 hours. Bring good walking shoes, binos, camera. For
further information, contact Benj Whitworth on 62544 556.
