We climbed through the fence just as you walk
through the gates from where we park our cars. We walked across the
paddock to the dam then continued up hill to the top left hand corner (I believe
it is the south-eastern corner) of the paddock. There are some shipping
containers on the other side of the fence.
The honeyeaters, Brown Treecreepers and a
Crested Shrike-tit were in the Box trees between the dam and that corner.
The Box trees have begun to flower but still have plenty of buds yet to
open.
Later I got a report of 2 Jacky Winters
near our usual car parking area.
I really do agree with you about calling this
'Newline Paddock'.
The Fuscous HE are really lovely to see. There are
some in breeding plumage, some not, some juv. and some quiet greeny ones.
Occasionally you can get a very good view of the head and see the
markings.
