A quick visit to the Canowindra sewage ponds midday today yielded a small
group of plumed Whistling Ducks. They seem to like this location (I’ve
seen them there previously) and are likely to have been there for a while and to
hang around a while longer if anybody is travelling out that way.
the ponds are just out of town on the Eugowra/Forbes road on the right hand
side. Also present were a few Pink Ears, Grey Teal and a Pacific
Heron.
our trip to Orange this weekend was otherwise almost devoid of birds.
The only raptors were a Kestrel and a Brown Falcon, a handful of parrots, one BF
Cuckoo Shrike and a couple of Woodswallows in the 600
kms!!
