Correction of route directions to Tallaganda special birds

[Martin Butterfield <>]

About 4km along North Black Range FT is a rugged track on the left leading up to a trig point.  I have often found some good species up that.  About 1.5km past that there is a swampy area off to the right which has had some interesting birds in the tea-tree surrounding the open areas.  Also a very good supply of ticks in Summer.

The name of the Firetrail I turned north off Mulloon FT is North Black Range not Bald Hill FT.

I have rewritten the directions

 I went to Tallaganda Forest via Forbes Creek onto Mulloon Fire Trail. I saw the quailthrush about 2 kms short of the intersection with North Black Range FT. Here the forest is relatively open and there are plenty of granite boulders. This is a hot spot for quailthrush although you don't see one every time. In fact I keep a look out for them from Hoskinstown onward.  After a 40 minute brisk walk i returned to my subaru and drove to the intersection with North Black Range FT where I turned north. I saw the other 3 birds within the first 2 or 3 kms. Stopping to see the Flame Robin. A little further on I noticed a small dark robin.  The treecreeper quietly nearby. I was surpried to see the bold rufous eyebrows.
