At Fitzroy falls (NSW) on Sunday, I was
pleasantly surprised by a party of beautiful firetails. They flew in to busily
peck on a couple of small clifftop she-oaks, just above "the Grotto".
There were 10 or so, in company with some red-browed finches. They didn't seem
to be disturbed by people climbing the steps nearby, some even perched on fence
wires as they passed. They moved on after about 20 mins.
They're easy to find recently at Barren Grounds
observatory, feeding along the track between the carpark and the accommodation
hut, and just beyond, occasionally being joined by an Eastern Bristlebird. I
found that there's a big tiger snake lurking near the hut as
well.
