Pale-tailed Kangaroo on Black Mountain Nature Reserve, a Rose Robin and some migrating honeyeaters

[David Rees <>]

I would agree with others, female Walleroo - have a look at a film I took of these in and around Glen Davis in Capertee Valley,  There they came down to munch on lucerne from the rocky hill sides very close by.  see https://vimeo.com/110858550.  Never seen one in Canberra myself.  Seen plenty on the western side of the Brindabellas though.

Not a bird, but someone conversant with macropodic marsupials might know why this one has a pale tail.

There was a female Rose Robin lurking between the electricity substation, the CSIRO workshop and the ANGB plastic house, Frith Road this afternoon. I heard Rose Robin calls on three other occasions but was not sure whether it was the same bird. It was hanging around with a large MFF. There were large parties of honeyeaters (up to 50). Going on the calls alone, White-naped Honeyeaters were in the majority.
