On a mainly
overcast Monday morning (2.4.12) 34 species were recorded over 9 sites (S), with
an additional 10 species outside (O) the survey areas. Three MFFs (2 at S) made
the survey more interesting: Speckled Warbler (1 x S, 1 x O), 6 Double-barred
Finch, 6 Varied Sittella, 2 Grey Burcherbirds (1 only seen, immat.), several
Rufous and Golden Whistlers, White-throated Gerygone, Brown-headed Honeyeater
and Scarlet Robins (all S & O). Four species of thornbills, far more than in
the recent past, but only very few Superb Fairy-wrens (only O).
