This morning from about 10.30 two of us visited the paddocks accessed past the
horse yards on the corner of Gibbes and Hoskins Streets, HALL.
Varied Sittellas were in the trees near the dam at -35.168749, 149.062710
What we took to be a Scarlet Robin turned out to be a Red-capped Robin.
When we returned to the dam area later a Speckled Warbler was seen in company
of Yellow-Rumped Thornbills. The shrub layer in these paddocks is non-existent.
There were at least three Kookaburras active and vocal in this general area.
One Eucalypt hosted a Striated Pardalote nest if their bringing nesting
material to it is any guide. 1.5 m away was a hollow with Honeybees very
active.
