Back from a month overseas (unfortunately interrupted through a death in the family), I have resumed my GBS recording.

Today I was disappointed not to join the mid-week walk because I had a doctor’s appointment.  But from a bird-watching viewpoint, I was hardly disappointed - over an hour within 50m of my home, I observed:

·        Over 100 SCCs, the flock containing about 10 Little Corellas

·        30 or so Pied Currawongs, some doing high-altitude aerobatics

·        8 Galahs

·        About 50 Red Wattlebirds migrating generally NNE

·        A BFCS

·        A White-eared HE

·        A Golden Whistler (I think – a little doubtful about this ID)

·        A pair of Scarlet Robins

·        A pair of grey Fantails

·        Several Spotted Pardalotes

·        A Striated Pardalote

·        A Brown Thornbill

·        A couple of Yellow-rumped Thornbills

·        A few Weebills

·        About 15 Silvereyes

·        8 Superb Fairy-wrens

·        A White-throated Scrub-wren

·        Both Rosella species

·        Magpies, Crested Pigeons, Rock Doves, an Australian Raven, a Starling etc etc

 

Who needs to leave home?!
