I walked the full length of the predator-proof fence today at Mulligan's
Flat in a clockwise direction. I would not recommend this to anyone
else as it was rather tedious for the most part. The highlight was
hearing and then seeing an immature Pied Butcherbird in a huge Yellow
Box about 600m east northeast of the big but largely empty dam. This is
a big but largely empty part of the reserve that I have not walked
through before. No sign of any truly pied individuals.
The fence is largely completed other than the fixings at ground level
and electrification.
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters were moving in flocks of between 50 and 200
individuals, in what could be liberally described as a north easterly
direction, for most of the day.
