There were at least six Dusky Woodswallows at The
Pinnacle yesterday & today, at approximately 10.45am. They were in trees
& above the edge-effect-zone overlooking the Kama 'homestead'.
Many groups of 10-30 honeyeaters flew over
the Stringy-bark forest towards the east during the 2 hours a Field
Naturalists-lead walk was taking place. Mostly Yellow-faced and White-naped Hs.
(Honeyeater movement, flying west on Saturday afternoon at Strathnairn Gallery
(Holt)). No shortage of Mixed feeding flocks including pairs of Scarlet robins
& whistlers around the Pinnacle reserve today and yesterday.
Friday's surprise was an Owlet nightjar (10.15am)
calmly perched in the Stringy-bark forest until I moved off slightly whereupon
it flew rapidly into a hollow-tree.
