Dawn chorus in Hawker

[Anthony Overs <>]

Up early this morning, so I decided to document the dawn chorus. I noted down the time I first heard a species calling. First light at around 6.20am, sunrise at 7.09, partly cloudy, about 2 degrees, no wind.

6.22 Australian Magpie

6.29 Sulphur-crested Cockatoo

6.30 Common Myna

6.32 Pied Currawong

6.37 Australian Raven

6.38 Eastern Spinebill, Magpie-Lark

6.40 Common Blackbird

6.43 Weebill

6.45 Noisy Miner

6.46 Rainbow Lorikeet

6.47 Red Wattlebird

6.50 Crimson Rosella

6.55 Brown Thornbill

6.56 Red-rumped Parrot

Of note:

- I finished before sunrise as several new species calling (e.g. Galah, Eastern Rosella) had flown in.

- The first spinebill to call was roosting in the shrubs just beside the house and within 20 seconds three other spinebills in separate locations called too.

- I didn't hear the Laughing Kookaburras that call almost every morning about 200m to the south.

Cheers
