A single male Superb Parrot foraging in a Yellow Box in the north of Gooroo around midday. Judging from the calls we heard, a second bird was probably also in the area. Earlier at Mulligans while doing a reptile survey I saw or heard Sittellas, Western Gerygone, Scarlet Robin, Mistletoebird, Rufous Whistler, hordes of pardalotes (mainly Striated), and Yellow-faced HEs flying over in small numbers. I even found a few reptiles. For those not familiar with reptile surveys, the latter was definitely a bonus!

 

On the way home I made a quick stop at Yerrabi Pond and saw male and female Musk Duck, 1 maybe 2 Cattle Egrets, and at least 2 Great Egrets.

 

Cheers
