An excellent day was had by 13 memebers visiting three TSRs along Mountain Creek Road (NW of Urriara Crossing). I have yet to tally the total daylist but allowing for species seen "along the way" we must have spotted 60+ species. An excellent set of areas, thanks to Ian Fraser for developing the idea of a trip along this road.
Some hghlights from my perspective:
- 9 White-fronted Chats at Stomlo Forest Park before we 'formally' started;
- Satin Bowerbird at both Tinkers Creek and Cavan (the latter a blue bird).
-
Western and Whitethroated Gerygones chasing one another at the Mullion;
- Red-rumped parrots Inspecting a spout very near the Mullion TSR;
- Rufous Songlarjk and White-necked Heron between the Mullion and Cavan;
- Leaden Flycatchers (m & f) at Cavan
- Restless Flycatchers at Cavan
- Rainbow Bee-eater at Cavan.
Lotsa orchids at Mullion and Cavan
