Still many Flame Robins present - mostly at the northern end. Today,
perhaps in response to a brisk southerly, they were amongst the trees
rather than out in the open. When perched, they had a choice between
facing the wind, coming from the south, or facing incoming sunlight from
the north. They chose, in general, to flaunt their flamery (if male) and
face the sun. Also, lesser numbers of Scarlet Robins. The same Jacky
Winter as yesterday was there today. It has a band on its right leg. The
colour-banded Yellow-rumped Thornbill present yesterday was not seen
today. Robin Eckermann kindly pointed out two roosting Tawny Frogmouths
soon after I arrived. Other than that, the usual woodland perps,
including Brown-headed Honeyeaters, Varied Sittellas and Speckled
Warblers, were lurking in their usual favourite woodland places in very
roughly the usual numbers.
