K2C Sunday 13 October
The Spring K2C surveys in fine weather on 13 October, and although it wasn’t too warm or windy, the prolonged dry spell has meant some sites are looking quite parched. The expected summer migrants were present, and small
flocks of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters were migrating through at a few sites. Highlights included
White-bellied Sea-eagle along the Murrumbidgee, the now regular Pied Butcherbird at a couple of sites,
Brown Treecreeper breeding, White-winged Triller at a couple of sites,
Varied Sittella at one site, Pink-eared Duck and Musk Duck on the large dam at Ingelara, and
Jacky Winter at the same property. Hooded Robin and Diamond Firetail were recorded at only a few sites but both species were easily seen at Scottsdale, around the shed while we had our lunch. Thank you to the volunteers, landholders and
Bush Heritage for hosting us for our lunch gathering. The next surveys will be in April 2025.
