Hi all,
Last night enjoyed some beautiful autumnal weather
at Kamarooka State Park, some 30 km N of Bendigo. This park is several
thousand hectares of grassy woodland. It's not all in terrific condition
in that much of it is coppice regrowth, but there are some open grassy spots
which make for good woodland birds. The highlight was seeing three male
Hooded Robins in one "binocular view" as well as a good view of a male Crested
Bellbird, which seemed unaware of my presence and made a deep, quiet growling
call (I record bellbirds often at my atlas site at Wellsford forest on the
outskirts of Bendigo but have never seen them).
Below is a list for 30 minutes birding (500m
radius atlas count). Could someone let me know if it comes out as a
messy scramble, and if it does sorry to be nuisance.
