Amongst the usual Rufous Whistlers, Yellow-faced
Honeyeaters, Grey Fantails et al at Tharwa Sandwash this morning were also a
pair of Rainbow Bee-eaters and two (at least) European Goldfinches. Sadly, no
Platypus (or Hooded Robin) but I live in hope each time I go there
now.
Later, at Jerrabomberra Wetlands (Kellys Swamp), 4
Royal Spoonbills and, at the water's edge in front of Bittern Hide, a
Little Grassbird. Further out from the hide a solitary Baillon's Crake was
giving prolonged views and a Sacred Kingfisher appeared briefly.
With a bit of luck the Crake will hang around long
enough so that whoever is covering the Wetlands as part of the Blitz might be
able to spot it on the weekend.
