The ANPS Wednesday walk today went to Blundell's Creek Rd.  I also visited Warks Rd, in the vain hope that there might be a Cicadabird present.  Alas no: possibly Steve Holliday's sightin on the Majura Range was, as he suggested, the migration happening for this species.

White-naped Honeyeaters have definitely not migrated yet.  There were hordes of them present.  Peter Ormay saw one being fed (DY).  I saw a Yellow-faced Honeyeater carrying food (CF): again good numbers of this species still present. 

I had excellent views of 2 Rufous Fantails and fleeting views of 3 - 4 Satin Bowerbirds on Warks Rd.  Moving back to Blundell's Creek Rd a male Eastern Whipbird showed itself rather nicely.

Also MIA were Superb Lyrebird and Satin Flycatcher.
