Two were seen feeding on the exposed mud on the dam
below the Namadgi Visitors Centre this morning, most likely immatures as from
about 30 metres away they were two tone dark but I could not see any signs of
the red eye or red legs, or the barring underneath the tail, perhaps due to
the poor light.
According to the ranger they've been there for a
while. Certainly the most bold I've ever seen, right out in the open,
frightened off by some noisy walkers a couple of times but they came straight
back.
Less luck with the Jacky Winters, said to have been
heard there yesterday but no sign of them this morning, or of the hooded robins
at the Tharwa Sandwash. So if anyone has seen these during the
weekend, or during next week the robin twitchathon participants on 20 July
would love to know where.
