Following on from Jenny Bounds' mention at COG meeting of a book sale
of the late Mr Braithwaite at Buxton St Deakin (just below Red Hill reserve,
that I took the opportunity to walk on for about 30 minutes after). I heard Gang
gang Cockatoos from the garage of the home, along with S-cC. When I pointed
this out to Mrs Braithwaite, she was apparently unfamiliar, said they sound like
screech birds. I later watched 4 GGC (2 M & 2 F) in the back gardens along
the upper loop of Buxton St adjacent to the reserve. I think this is my 3rd
observation of the species in the past year but that is mainly a indication of
that I don't travel a lot within Canberra. Also still many Satin
Bowerbirds in the area, in contrast they have departed from my home area in
Kambah, in the last few weeks. One Wedge-tailed Eagle soaring over the hill top.
