I went to Newline this morning (Easter Monday, 24 March), not expecting to see
much at this time of year, but found the place to be a hive of activity!
Notably, Striated Pardalotes were everywhere, and flying across in small groups
- numbers must have been in the hundreds. Dusky Woodswallows and Grey Fantails
were also very active, with probably in excess of 20 of each. 1 Fan-tailed
Cuckoo, several Rufous Whistlers, and small numbers of White-plumed and
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters. 1 Little Eagle. The only 'Newline speciality' was
2-3 Brown Treecreepers. The small dam still has a surprising amount of water
in it, given the lack of rain....plus 2 Grey Teal.

Frank Antram
