The ANPS Weds walk today, enhanced (?) by my presence after a fair break, covered Burra Creek in Tinderry National Park. No Duskies were seen, but about 200 migrating Yellow-faced Honeyeaters were recorded in flocks from 7 to 80 birds, mainly heading SE.. There were also many White-winged Choughs - 30+ in one group an 10 in another - as well as 6 Brown-headed Honeyeaters and 2 Eastern Yellow Robin. White-eared Honeyeaters and Scarlet Robins were everywhere.

Will check again in next two months. |
