seemed a popular destination - several people having a look around
today. with the tracks mown and lots of kangaroo trails through the
dead thistles and tall grass it's now easy to get around.
I spent 3 hours doing a very leisurely circuit and despite not getting
some of the usual suspects, still ended up with 39 species. both
rosella species were inspecting hollows, rainbow lorikeets were at
home in a hollow, and several trees had wood ducks wandering about. 4
raptor species, including a light coloured brown falcon, which I don't
see there often. Huge flock of sulphur-crested cockatoos (well over
200 birds). Several mixed feeding flocks including one with a number
of double-barred finches. Lots of thornbills (yellow-rumped,
buff-rumped, brown, yellow) and weebills. The big Callum Brae farm dam
had 9 Aust grebe keeping company with black ducks, grey teal and a
hardhead.
