Hot, windy and dry at Womboin this morning but we saw several interesting birds. I got just a glimpse of the chestnut-rumped heathwren. And Bill saw a black honey eater. We saw the nest of a triller with the male sitting on it, and lots, well at least 10, young birds and their mums, flying low down amongst the kunzia. Trillers at ground level when they have young? The white browed wood swallows were also protecting juveniles who were low in trees or on the ground. And we saw a very young hooded robin, as well as mum and dad. Other birds? well, white throated gerygones, diamond finches, mistletoe bird, yellow rumped thornbills, dusky wood swallows, fairy wrens and more

We hope to go again on a cooler day.

Elizabeth
