Today's efforts in Namadgi

[Nathanael Coyne <>]

I haven't done a Bird Blitz before so I don't even know if I can contribute any of today's sightings.

Granite Tors Track, Orroral Road

I'm struggling to ID a raptor I got a glimpse of that I think was chasing a decent size Brown snake I saw a few minutes later in a hurry. It was larger than a Nankeen Kestrel, mostly brown, paler around neck, splayed primaries like an eagle. I also think I heard it's call later but also haven't matched that up with anything.

Lyrebird, 1

Fan-tailed Cuckoo, 2-3

Yellow-faced Honeyeater, dozens

White-eared Honeyeater, 1

White-throated Treecreeper, 2

White-naped Honeyeater, 1

White-browed Scrubwren, 5

Eastern Yellow Robin, 1

Eastern Whipbird, 2

Grey Shrike-Thrush, at least a dozen

Olive-backed Oriole, 1

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike, 1

Striated Pardalote, 2

Crimson Rosella, 1

... and several other small birds I couldn't ID.

Plus the regulars including:
