At Yankee Hat car-park yesterday I saw all three local treecreepers (White-throated, Brown and Red-browed) at the one place - within 200 m of each other. First time I've had a trifecta of treecreepers. Just the one Brown seen and a single female Red-browed gave good views.
 
Other good stuff included a pair of Hooded Robins, but I saw relatively few Flame Robins (relative to a recent post, anyway!). Missed Diamond Firetail and Southern Whiteface.
 
The weather was great and people were taking advantage of the day off work - by midday the car park was not only full but overflowing, and when we were coming back from the rock art site, at one point there were groups of walkers about every 300 m along the track. Never seen that before either!
