Some interesting shots. The two that particularly struck me were the
Yellow-plumed Honeyeater and the Brown Treecreeper. The distribution of
yellow on the bill of Yellow-plumed Honeyeater does not appear to match
any illustration in Pizzey and Knight, Morcombe, Simpson and Day, or
Slater. In the same tomes the Brown Treecreeper illustrations all show a
rather dapper and clearly delineated eyebrow. The bird in the photograph
appears to lack the well-delineated eyebrow and to have a tan patch that
goes up and backwards from the eye instead.

Hi all,
Just back from my first trip as a trainee bird bander. I dont know of
how much interest this is to COG members, but we banded close to 60+
birds and 16 species. Photos are up at

Incidentally, on the drive to Charcoal Tank NR (close to West Wyalong,
about 280 km NW of Canberra), Anthony Overs and I observed 28
Australian Kestrel by the road. This equates to roughly 1 Kestrel per
10 km.
Cheers
Tobias
