We went to Campbell Park this morning. There must have been a deluge
there on Thursday. (We only had 3mms here in Griffith). All the
dams are full and have overflowed so that even the big dam, to the
east of the horse gate is full. The fence to the north of the horse
gate has been broken by water and debris washed against it and
everywhere there are signs of flowing water. When did this last
happen? But not many interesting bird were to be seen. Nest
building by a pair of leaden fly catchers was the most interesting
sighting. There were several small flocks of the fly catchers, and
also trillers, many magpies, 4 dusky wood swallows, a couple of willy
wagtails. However, no honey eaters of any description were heard or
seen. Is there shortage of honey eaters this summer?
