I covered 7 sites around Kowen Forest this morning. My overall total was 43 species with 5 breeding records. (Rufous Whistler DIsplay); White-browed Scrubwren (Carrying Food); White-wnged Chough (Nest with Young); Common Starling (Nest with Young); Australian Raven (Carrying Food - in that case it appeared to be half a ham sandwich stolen from some railway workers)
The best site was a heavily grazed paddock opposite the Defence HQ which had 20+ White-browed Woodswallow,. 5 Masked Woodswallow, 5 Dusky Woodswallow 3 White-winged Trillers and a pair of Scarlet Robins. The worst site was on the back of Sparrow Hill which has been clear-felled with extreme prejudice and replanted .... to Pinus radiata!!!!
Other extra-good sightings were a Jacky Winter and Speckled Warbler. I didn't count the Brown Goshawk which nearly took my helmet off at Kowen Pound as a breeding record.
