Eight COG members enjoyed a successful trip to the Capertee Valley. We all camped on Carol Probert(our guide)'s well timbered property. The winds that swept across the state did not penetrate the valley and the rain was kind to us.
All up we saw 114 species. Birding highlights were 8 Regent Honeyeaters which were calling to each other with one pair observed nesting, several groups of up to 30 Plum-headed Finch, a Rockwarbler, Turquoise Parrots, a male Painted Button-quail, many Hooded Robins constantly spied by Alex McLachlan and light & dark morphs of both Little Eagle and White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike. Noisy Friarbirds were very aggressive and seemed to be everywhere.
