A couple of references in Marnix' post reflect today's more interesting sightings and soundings at Carwoola.  

 noticed Scarlet robin calls in several spots, after them being absent - or at least silent for several weeks.  

Some Yellow-faced Honeyeaters (YFHE) were being more raucous than usual and on checking it was mainly because they were harassing a Shining Bronze-Cuckoo.  The residual amount of noise was the begging of a Dependent Young YFHE.

My first Double bars for Mulligans seen this morning along the northern boundary (35 09 39 S, 149 11 01 E). The pair flew south into the reserve.

Other highlights were a White-necked Heron in grassland, 3-4 Shining Bronze-cuckoos, 3 Fan-tailed Cuckoos (1 adult and 2 juveniles), 3 Whistling Kites, 2 Wedge-tailed Eagles, 3 Sacred Kingfishers and plenty of Scarlet Robins and Speckled Warblers around.

Cheers
