I was in Bright and was very excited to see a Rose Robin and flocks of Gang Gang Cockatoos, amongst other things.

I did my usual prowl round the Hoskinstown Plain and to Foxlow Lagoon today. I have written it up on the
Carwoola Birds blog, and here are the highlights:
-
3 Skylarks calling in the first half of Briars Sharrow Rd;
-
25 Red Wattlebirds flew over the road near Yandiguinula /Resch's Creek;
-
16 Flame Robins seen at various sites, with 9 in one tree at Foxlow;
-
Adult White-breasted Sea-Eagle at Foxlow;
-
17 Avocets and 5 Stilts still at Foxlow;
-
Red-kneed Dotterel at Foxlow (this species seems generally more common this year).
