Hello Steve,
How do you access Stony Creek Nature Reserve, please? I'd assumed people would have to walk in from Uriarra East Reserve, but you say you saw a Pied Butcherbird "next to the carpark". Is that Uriarra East Reserve's carpark, or do you go in some other way,
possibly on a private road, to a different carpark? If it's a private road, I certainly would not intrude.
Thanks
Tony Willis

We all know the obvious local black-and-white birds, Magpie, Magpie-lark and Willie Wagtail. They may have had a long evolutionary history of interaction. At Stony Creek this morning, the relatively three unexpected sightings were all other
black-and-white birds. A juvenile White-belled Sea-eagle perched in a dead tree, a Pied Cormorant beating its way downstream, and a Pied Butcherbird next to the carpark.
Five separate raptor species were around, as well, and Kevin and I didn’t even see a Brown Falcon. So, overall, a good morning even if the country is very dry and the river low. Full list at
