Eighteen COG members came to this COG outing on a clear, sunny and still morning, including notably, several new members. Despite the great weather, there were not a lot of birds around. The forested area just north of of the office block was again (as last year), dominated by Noisy Miners excluding many of the small birds, but Crimson and Eastern Rosella were in good numbers, plus a flock of Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos, Red-rumped Parrots, Australian King-Parrots and the occasional Galah and Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo. Over towards the eastern boundary, Lindell picked up a beautiful Pair of Scarlet Robins.  Back over the horse-ramp, Alison found a male Common Bronzewing. Other notables were a Grey Currawong pair, Weebill, Black-faced Cuckoo-Shrike, Golden and Rufous Whistlers, White-eared Honeyeater and a flock of about 15 Yellow-faced Honeyeaters moving through. Top spotter for the trip was Duncan, with an overhead Australian Hobby, Yellow Thornbill,  Speckled Warbler and Mistletoebird. Total bird count was 39 species.
