Finally managed to get out to Gooroo north on a
reasonable morning (Monday 4th), still a bit breezy and with a frost on the
ground but an improvement on the last few days. On the whole bird activity
seemed quiet, the spring migrants seem a little slow to return in great numbers,
in particular there were very few of the usually-conspicuous Rufous
Whistler and Grey Fantail. The most common small birds
were both species of Pardalote, but few of the normally abundant Thornbills.
There were several Western Gerygone, one White-throated
Gerygone, Mistletoebird, Speckled Warbler, one
Olive-backed Oriole, one silent Shining
Bronze-cuckoo and one Red-capped Robin. A highlight
were the regular flights by Superb Parrots in pairs or singles,
all heading from south-west to north-east.
