On November 17th last year, I sent the following email to COG chatline
"Yesterday, at Callum Brae, entering from Narrabundah Lane, we first saw
Butcher bird feeding young
Kookaburra exiting nest
Kestrels with young
2 juvenile black shouldered kites. We had been seeing a parent watching
from the top of a tall dead tree for weeks. Never picked up nest but know know
where it is, I think
Further on, near gully
Grey fantail on nest
Weebills on nest
Striated pardalotes going into hole in dead tree--kestrel tree
Three spotted pardalotes going into holes in in bank
Many wood swallows in various stages of nesting
Black faced cuckoo shrike on nest
Adult kestrel, and youngster still around, from earlier nesting
Two dollar birds not showing us where their nest is
Trillers
Red browed firetails
Rufous whistler
Red rumped parrots
Galah presenting a broken off piece of gum leaf to his beloved"
Also, at that time and earlier there were large numbers of noisy miners nesting
between the gate from Narrabundah Lane and the left hand turn towards the
gully. The miners seemed to like nesting in the lower foliage gum trees.
There were none at Nursery Corner
Last Thursday we saw between 10 and 15 dusky wood swallows at that spot and
also a goldfinch. However, no fantails or finches or pardalotes or other small
birds were were seen
