About 1.30 pm today, I believe I saw a satin bowerbird (female) not far from the edge of Tuggeranong Hill. It was on the ground foraging amongst quite thick grasses and some rocks, then flew in to the trees. I can't think of anything else as was definitely green on top and brown/white underneath and was of a medium size. Did not see a black male nearby only another brown bird of similar size whizzing by but not up close. I have never seen one before. Also lots of parrots (eastern and crimson rosellas in the park now, including numerous juveniles), plus some soaring raptors (saw a wedge tail the other day), maggies, currawongs, galahs, sulphur crested cockatoos and crested pigeons. The little corellas have not been seen by me for some time now (here or in my yard).
