I hope everyone had as good a day as Barbara. I did two grassland reserve sites in the Gungahlin area and in one reserve recorded a total of three species flying over - myna, starling and magpie - who were not actually using the reserve as such, and in the second reserve scored a kestrel that initially overflew the site but returned to circle near me. I’ll take this as using the site. I’ll do the third grassland site this morning if it is not full of cattle. There’s nothing like being bored out of your brain in a totally unproductive landscape!!
Have fun blitzing!

Well I hope everyone who went out counting birds had a glorious day. We couldn’t fault the weather, for once. I was delighted to come across two special species: a Spotted Quail-thrush (Gibraltar Rocks); and 2 Bassian Thrush (Fishing Gap). Hope tomorrow is as productive. b
