Wamboin Birds

["David Cook" <>]

After a stroll around our paddock today we tallied 52 species. Highlights include:

 

Rufous Songlark (new species for us in Wamboin, number 133);

White-winged Triller (2 males, our first for the season);

Dusky Woodswallow (several, our first for the season);

Shining Bronze-Cuckoo;

Pallid Cuckoo;

Hardhead (male and female, rare visitors)

Sacred Kingfisher (2 calling loudly, our first for the season);

Rufous Whistler (our first for the season, a late arrival here).

 

Also:

White-winged Choughs have built a nest above our driveway;

White-throated Treecreepers are nesting in one of my nest boxes – don’t know how long that will last, normally occupied by a Brush-tailed Possum.
