Good morning, I am posting Barbara’s message as some COG/Canberra Birds members or chat line subscribers may be interested in doing this walk around Hall.  Jack Holland

Hi Jack,

 

 Chris and I went for a walk last Tuesday on part of the Centenary trail, which starts in Hoskins Street, near the back of Hall (about 1pm when it was fine!!). We walked about 100m uphill and then veered off to the right on a small walking track (not the main one) and were rewarded with a golden whistler (in full view), several Brown thornbills, as well as Superb Fairy wrens (male and female). Several crimson rosellas also flew past and as we returned to the township after following this loop track, we sighted a common blackbird, about 15 Sacred Ibis (on someone's front lawn in Gladstone Street) and the usual gathering of galahs (about 15) and about 20 Sulphur Crested cockatoos on the oval. I thought this may of interest to some of the members as it is an easy  30 minute walk (a fence and a gate to negotiate) rich with birdlife. Look forward to seeing you at the next meeting, Barbara
