Hi all,
I spent the day (29 Sept) at Campbell Park in
pleasant conditions, and recorded 52 species.
There was very little activity in Campbell Park
itself, but the woodlands to the N/NW/NE produced some good birds. Olive-backed
Orioles, Varied Sitellas, B-f C-s, Leaden Flycatchers, both whistlers, Speckled
Warblers, Brown-headed Honeyeaters, Grey Teal, Mistletoebird, Sacred
Kingfisher and Brown Goshawk were all present.
In terms of breeding, not very much was
about, but White-throated Gerygones were nest-building, as well as nests of
Grey Currawong, Superb Fairy-wren, Australian Raven.
I also saw what I think was a Cunningham's Skink
(if anyone can confirm this, please contact me and I can send over some photos.
No cuckoos, Jacky Winter or Western Gerygones.
