41 Species on a warm sunny morning.
Of these the most interesting were;
2 Tawny Frogmouth (ON), 2 Horsefields Bronze Cuckoo, one of which was chased by 2 Speckled Warbler, the other dependent upon Yellow-rumped Thornbill. There were plenty of Yellow-rumped Thornbill, an estimate of 14 Rufous Songlark (quietening down as the morning
wore on), 3 Varied Sitella, 7 Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike and 2 Sacred Kingfisher appearing to be a pair in the same vicinity. There were approximately 6 White-winged Triller some of which appeared to be in dispute over territory. Unfortunately Common Myna
have increased in number to about 8 and Starlings are breeding successfully. No noisy Myna have been seen to date in this region!
A pleasing morning.
