Molonglo Gorge is always a delightful place for a
bush-walk but can often be dissapointing birdwise. (We visit there at least once
a week in the warmer months but much less often in winter.) This morning was not
in the disappointing category. Some of the highlights were: Yellow-tufted
Honeyeater and Golden Whistler close to the carpark, Lyrebird heard calling high
in the first gully less than 500m from the carpark (we have
encountered them previously much further upstream in the gorge), Scarlet Robin
(regular winter visitor) plus many of the year-round regulars (Eastern
Yellow Robin, Spotted Pardalote, Brown Thornbill, White-throated Treecreeper,
White-eared Honeyeater etc.). The mosses, lichens and small fungi along the
upper track are also impressive at the moment.
Regards,
Leo.
