Hello all,

Just checked out Wamboin for the Chestnut-rumped Heathwren and co this morning.  Found the heathwren (watched one scold and sing, but I am positive I  heard two distinct birds scold!), again up the slope in lot 16 or 17, skulking in the tea tree bushes.  It was a birdy morning, and other birds there included 20+ Diamond Firetails, a few Red-browed Finch, 5+ Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike, several Southern Whiteface, 3+ Varied Sitella, one Brown-headed Honeyeater, a few White-throated Treecreepers, plus lots of Dusky Woodswallows, Yellow-rumped Thornbill, eastern and crimson rosellas, etc.  Dipped on the Hooded Robin, but still, I'm not complaining!

Also, yesterday I had three Superb Parrots at the Cook horse paddocks, plus the usual suspects.

good birding,

Tonya
