G'day all

I was delighted today as I have finally cracked 20 species on my daily
bike ride to work.  I've been riding for three years (2 in Canberra and 1
here in Hamilton) and my previous best was 18.

For the record:

Silvereye
Red Wattlebird
New holland Honeyeater
Yellow-faced Honeyeater
White-naped Honeyeater
Australian Magpie
Magpielark
Horsefield's Bronze-Cuckoo
Little Raven
Galah
Richard's Pipit
Willie Wagtail
Yellow-rumped Thornbill
Masked Lapwing
Australian Wood Duck
Australian White Ibis
Superb Fairy-wren
Welcome Swallow
Black Swan
White-faced Heron

I can think of several species I nearly always get but missed out on this
morning.  Also, I don't count weeds (starlings etc).

Cheers


Steve Clark
