For what it’s worth…
I did a total of 15 surveys over the weekend (6x 500m, 6x 2Ha, 3x incidental), giving me a tally of 81 species. Breeding conditions seemed to be favourable, with 18 of the 81 recorded breeding, including a trifecta
of Hirundines. (A couple of gaggles of immature Wood Duck just missing out on dependent young status).

Subject: [canberrabirds] COG's bird blitz post mortem
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
