A bunch of folk met at O'Connor Ridge this morning for a very pleasant walk.  A summary will appear in the next Gang-gang but the highlight was a group of 4 speckled warblers - closely followed by a party of 3 of the same species over 100m distant.  As we didn't see birds moving through ahead of us it suggests (and I will not make a bigger call than that) that there were two succesful breeding events, for this relatively uncommon species, in the area around the bike path in 2007-08.
 
As we walked close to the Gungahlin Drive Extension one of the group announced that they had seen a grey Falcon.  However, on closer examination of the branding, they changed this to a faded-black Commodore.  (I was so envious of the mental dextrity in the punchline, that I couldn't resist reciting it here.)
