walk to work totals

[(hillier lab)]

Hi everyone,
        while not up to the 20 bird benchmark set previously I had a good day 
walking to work today.  I walk or ride to walk through 3 km of the most inner 
city Melbourne you can get starting in Flemington and finishing at the 
University of Melbourne in Parkville.  The only OK area is Royal Park but 
even here I often get more ferals (if only we could shoot them all!) than 
natives.  Today however I got 14 natives including a Common Bronzewing (first 
sighting by me in Royal Park) and a Scaly-breasted Lorikeet (first vic 
sighting for me).  The Scaly-breasted was with a medium sized flock of 
Rainbow Lorikeets.  The Rainbow Lorikeets were really screeching madly this 
morning. Not really a twitchers heaven but a nice diversion on the way to 
work.

 The list was (in no particular order)

White-plumed Honeyeater
Red Wattlebird
Welcome Swallow
Red-rumped Parrot
Eastern Rosella
Scaly-breasted Lorikeet
Rainbow Lorikeet
Magpie-lark
Australian Magpie
Willie Wagtail
Little Raven
Common Bronzewing
Pacific Black Duck 
Silver Gull
plus seven species of feral junk
