Hi folks,
I spent a very
pleasant couple of hours today with a friend exploring the bush in the southern
Grampians. Our intention was to find the Painted Honeyeaters that Robert
Drummond reported last week. Unfortunately we didn't see any, but we did see
quite a number of other species. A special moment was watching a male Sacred
Kingfisher calling. We watched him for a good five minutes before he flew off.
Other species sighted
were:
Shining Bronze Cuckoo (
juv.) Rufous Whistler White-winger Triller Willie
Wagtail Magpie White-winged Chough Brown treecreeper (on
nest) Common Bronzewing Crimson Rosella Yellow-tail Black
Cockatoo Sacred Kingfisher New Holland Honeyeater
Black Faced Cuckoo-shrike
Dusky Woodswallow
Grey Fantail
Grey Shrike-thrush
Magpie Lark
Australian Raven
Brown Thornbill
Red-browed Finch
Cheers,
David Cameron
