Hello all!
Just a quick note on what has been happening around ANU. About 40 Little Corellas and the occasional flock of YTBCs. Gang Gangs in small numbers dayly. Waterfowl numbers have dwindled to counts of more then three hundred (PBDs and Woodies with a few Grey Teal mized in) to about 80. Small flocks of YFH dayly with smaller numbers of Eastern Spinebill, Silvereye (some tassie birds), Spotted Pardalote and Noisy Friarbird mixed in.
Cheers!
