Stuart Harris and I did the Naas Valley. Highlight was a Yellow-tufted Honeyeater on a nest on the Horse Gully side of the range. In the northern part
of the valley we saw Rainbow Bee-eaters, Southern Whiteface, Diamond Firetails and Golden-headed Cisticolas.

Well by some miracle we weren’t washed out entirely. While there have been more clement blitzes, at least the last couple of days have been possible for birding. And my inbox is positively groaning under the
weight of eBird records. Just to make sure I don’t miss any, I’ll publish a list of names and the number of datasheets I’ve received in due course. Many many thanks to all who participated. I hope you enjoyed your excursions as much as I did. My personal highlights
were two Red-browed Treecreepers at Lick Hole Rd and a whipbird seen as well as heard on Gibraltar Peak. Interestingly the Flame Robins found the burnt patches at that location and had bred. I’ll detail the blitz highlights in due course. Cheers, b
