On 12th Jan,Stuart Dashper and myself did a bit of birding up at
Rushworth State Forest,an area of Box-Ironbark in central Victoria(the
setting for many of Henry Lawson's great works).We visit this area
fairly regularly and the usual array of critters were seen-Fuscous,
Brown-headed,Black-chinned Honeyeaters,Olive-backed Oriole,Common
Bronzewing,White-winged Chough,Grey Currawong etc all in large nos
drinking from a dam.There were also huge numbers of White-throated
Needletail.One bird we haven't encountered in the area before was a
Crested Bellbird (female).Now that the population at Chiltern has
dissappeared this would be at the eastern limit of their Vic
population.Has anybody else seen this bird in the Whroo section of
Rushworth?
