Hi Folks,
Five South Ausies, Terry and Lyn Gould,
Trevor and Hazel Cowie and Enid Pascoe have just had two lovely weeks in Central
Victoria, with several days at each of Geelong, Healesville and and
Chiltern. We saw 168 species on the trip. Trip highlights - a pair
of Powerful Owls in the Brisbane Ranges, four Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters (race
cassidix, the Helmeted H/E), at Yellingbo, 25 to 30 Regent Honeyeaters and
four Turquoise Parrots at Chiltern.
Other gems -
- 30+ coloured male Flame Robins
in a Chiltern paddock,
- an Eastern Whipbird in the
Blackberry bush behind the cabin at Healesville,
- a pair of Painted Button Quail
at Bailieston Reserve,
- a pair of Spotted Quail Thrush
near Beechworth.
I will e-mail a full list, on
request. Many thanks to those folk who replied to my RFI - it was much
appreciated.
Cheers
Terry Gould.
