I took a brief trip to the Hoskinstown Plain this morning, primarily to check on the Woodswallow situation. I was unable to see or hear a single Woodswallow, not even a Dusky, in my visit.
However I did see a Horsfield's Bushlark (call me a traditionalist) singing beautifully on a fence near the corner of Briars Sharrow and Plains Roads. This is only the second bird of this
species I have seen in 12 years living in Carwoola.
There was quite a lot of surface water around in many areas and Foxlow Lagoon is close to capacity. In the absence of any exposed mud the shorebirds - Avocets, Stilts, Plovers and even
Lapwings - all seem to have departed.
