Myself and Sharon Taylor had an enjoyable afternoon
at Mitchell Park. It was a brilliant warm afternoon for this time of year with
temperatures in the hight teens and with much bird activity indicating that
Spring is not too far
Unfortunately, I could not find Sharon her
Powerfull Owls but 3 Painted Button-quail were flushed from the usual area on
the ridge along the Rainforest Trail (just before the Old Man Banksia trail). We
also had Fan-tailed Cuckoo, Rose Robins, a good variety of Honeyeaters,
Olive-backed Orioles, Dusky Woodswallows, Satin Bowerbirds etc.
Only a month to Spring!! Any early Spring Arrivals
yet? (Martins or Lathams Snipe!)
