Hi Archer,

Sorry, these are all northside....

There have been a group of ~5 Ibis, just east of Flemington Way in Gungaderra Creek, I usually see them in the afternoon ~4, you coud stop on Wimmera St.

White Naped HE are reliable on Mt. Majura- either side of the saddle below the main peak-map shows a small section of East Hackett for reference

Yellow Tailed Blacks are also around Mt. Majura-a flock flew over this morning as I lay in bed ~7:30

I imagine they are roosting/feeding in Majura Pines but I have not been over there for a while...
