Wet and muddy COG Blitzing at Namadgi on Sunday

[Kim Farley via Canberrabirds <>]

Great fun had by Sue Beatty and I up in Namadgi on Sunday. Brindabella Rd was wet and a little rutted but easily passable. The gate at the top of Blundells Creek Rd was open (for the first time in many months) and we ducked down there in the car for a kilometre or so. We were stopped by a boggy piece of road and decided to walk the rest of the way down to the junction with Warks Rd. Water was flowing, gushing and pouring everywhere but our gum boots saved the day.

We recorded some great birds including Wonga Pigeon, Pilotbird, Satin Flycatcher, Brush Cuckoo and a Rose Robin - plus three Whipbirds, a couple of Rufous Fantails, a great view of a female Lyrebird, and lots of Golden Whistlers, Grey Fantails and Scrubwrens. 

For interested eBird subscribers, the full list is on eBird (and shared with COG Blitz).
