Majura pines is very reliable for YTBC. I have seen plenty of them there every time I ride in the past month or two - last seen on Monday 7 June. Mostly in the lower slopes central to north section (where Radicle and Cannery Row MTB trails are) or on Winery Hill in the very north end of the pines (where Batcave and Pinot Grinio trails are). 

Cheers

Tony

today will be day 161 of Bird-a-day, and I am now very much in my final days with just 2 yard birds left. to last beyond this weekend I somehow need to find non-yard birds on work days, which is a bit tricky with the short days and having pretty much only less common woodland birds remaining that I often only have a short time on the afternoon to find in suburbia..

There are a few species that have been a bit difficult lately, for which reliable locations you've had this June would be appreciated, especially southside locations within easy drive and not far in from parking.

Australian White Ibis: I had left them as I always get them on their roost flights over home, but they have all but disappeared, and I have tried 10+ wetlands and the tip multiple times each on several different days this past fortnight, with no trace.

Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo: Seem to have disappeared locally, I've tried about 5 different pine plantations and only had them further afield where they've been trumped by better BAD candidates, and even there only singles or pairs.

Scarlet Robin: usually easy to find but not so this year. Most years I have several pairs on Wanniassa Hills, but apart from a single sighting earlier in the season they seem to have left, and they haven't been at many other regular spots for them.

White-naped Honeyeater: any good groups overwintering in urban reserves would be good.
