Subject: | Mulligan's Flat today - Brown Treecreepers |

I spent an hour or so around the middle of the day at the north eastern of Mulligan's Flat, near "Curlew" gate (-35.162550°, 149.184200°), well away from the controlled burn that was being conducted to the south. The highlight was three Brown Treecreepers (all banded). Also a Scarlet Robin, (are they getting scarcer or is my imagination?), plus White-throated Treecreeper, 3 Rufous Whistlers, a Golden Whistler (imm. male), Yellow-rumped, Buff-rumped & Brown Thornbills, a White-throated Gerygone, a handful of Spotted Pardalotes, and a small group of what I suspect were Double-barred Finches, but I didn't see or hear them clearly enough to be sure. I haven't seen Double-barred Finches in the Flat before. Several small flocks of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters flew over heading north east.
On the way there I saw a pair of Wedge-Tailed Eagles flying over the neighbouring farmland, one being harrassed by a Raven, the other by a Brown Goshawk (not 100% sure it wasn't a sparrowhawk).
Duncan.
