Hi all,

Just back from a short (3-4 day) trip to the Weddin Mtns. This was the first time I have been there.

The main highlight was a very obliging Turquoise Parrot (the full story and photos is up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/callocephalon/3115350110/

Other nice birds included several groups of Emus, Apostlebirds, one White-backed Swallow, Blue Bonnets, Peregrine Falcons, Pied Butcherbirds and lots of Speckled Warblers Yellow Thornbills and Rainbow Bee-eaters. There were nests of the bee-eaters, Red-capped Robins and Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters. Also boobooks calling at night.

Unfortunately, no Black-chinned or Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters.

Other animals included 4 species of kangaroo (Eastern Grey, Swamp, Red-necked and Euro), plus excellent views of a Tailed Emperor at Conimbla NP.

Cheers,

Tobias
